What people say

the room was superb, staff were more than helpful,especially the porter who looked after our luggage, plus whilst being unwell on my first night, I rang reception for some blankets and they brought them straight up to my room. Thankyou very much x. We inquired about various resturants in the area which was described to us by the porter in great detail which was followed up by the staff managing to get us a table booked in two of these resturants, which saved us the hassle. Excellent!!.
