"The Hotel was awesome. Slightly dated but perfect for a school group. The staff were really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We were all roomed closed together so we had section of the hotel which made it much easier as a group leader. The food was buffet style which meant there was ample choice for the fussy eaters in the group! The food was great and a balanced offering of healthy choices."
