8/10 Good
"Room was nice, staff very friendly. Not happy with the availability of the electric car chargers, because spaces were included in the pre booking spaces, there was no availability for other guests with electric cars to charge their cars. Thought it was a selfish attitude that these were only available if pre-booked. Everything else was lovely, we enjoyed our stay Thank you."
