Really good Stay with Wonderful Facilities!

great hotelfree parkinguneven paving
I loved the great hotel building, it looked grand! Customer service was great. The surrounding area looked beautiful, and I took full advantage of the large free parking area. My room even had a lovely wooden balcony. The sauna and swimming pool were a definite plus!
The pathways around the hotel grounds had uneven paving slabs, it was a bit of a trip hazard. The path junctions between the accommodation, gym entrance, and hotel are quite challenging to navigate, especially at night. I hope they improve this for all guests.
