Incredible Value for Money

Went with my other half for a festive break. It was our first time visiting bit we had a great time. The staff were so friendly and helpful, from the staff on the phones to all who made our weekend so special. Lovely, spacious bedroom which was spotlessly clean. Great choice of food and so much of it too. So many activities to try and amazing shows.

Highly Enjoyable Festive Themed Break

Outstanding staff and facilities. Good quality food and plenty off it. Really could not find anything to complain about. Hundreds of very happy guests made for a very pleasant three days break. Intended to visit a couple of attractions nearby but given the inclement weather found plenty to do onsite.
