A wonderful stay
heated pool magical element
The room included two double bedswith ample space for my family. I especially loved the little touches. Secret doors for elves and fairies added a magical element. We made good use of the heated indoor swimming pool. The reception offered extra tea, coffee and milk!
There was definitely noise . The noise levels in the bar area were a little HIGH. The children made plenty of noise. Maybe the hotel should consider this noise.
