    I actually have been here before and it’s always been incredible! This time I booked a break for my brother and his wife and messed up the dates and times. I managed to get into the hotel with less than 8 hours notice and get the dates swapped...

    From the moment we arrived, Dylan the concierge collected us from the car park on the golf buggy , without even being asks (it was raining heavy) so it was a welcome sight , such a pleasant guy . 10/10 for him .
