parking easy, be mindful when booking that not all rooms photographed are like the photos in the booking ad, the lovely team member did find us the same type (eg jnr suite with spa bath as per photos) we also thought it would be ground floor, as that was the booking info so she found this too. The resturant did let the place down, the menu is very basic, and wasnt particularly cooked well. We have used it in the past as a special occasion go to and its not that now so we were dissapointed in this. However the bar staff were lovely. The pool was great and heated perfectly for the weather.
