I needed a place for my granddaughter to stay so she could catch a flight the next morning. I've stayed her a number of times and always had good experiences. I spoke to lady at reception and asked if they could look after her and they were great. The next morning they helped her with her bags at the shuttle, got her to the airport, helped her get a baggage trolley and set her off in the right direction for check. Their help was very much appreciated and gave me some peace of mind.

We felt so welcome, the people are lovely. The accommodation is much bigger than we thought it would be, it’s homely, clean, well equiped, and it had everything we needed. The tv is huge! The room service was fast and the food was nice. The airport shuttle is a great bonus.
