There was always a queue for entry to... More

Arrived back today following a fantastic week at this venue booked via Thomsons. Every member of staff made us very welcome, a fabulous choice of quality food 3 times daily, fantastic accommodation, great facilities and free coach travel daily to local towns/places of interest. Will visit again without doubt. I do not understand all the negative comments about this venue... More
