Great short break

top mealnice viewslong wait
Everything you need for a short break was here. Breakfast was amazing, and dinner was a top meal I've had. The restaurant offered excellent food with nice views.
I booked via a site that showed a pool. I wanted the spa, it had a long wait. The pool was gone, so there are very few other facilities here.
