Positive: The staff were amazing and really made our stay comfortable, especially one member of staff Danka , she was chatty and had a lovely personality.
Negative: Our only one complaint was that one of our rooms had a really strong bad smell coming from the bathroom during the night going into the morning, so much so they could not shower It was very unpleasant, we did let reception know about this and they were very apologetic. It was unfortunate as the rest of the stay was fantastic. This hasn't put us off going back , we loved it and would highly recommend it .
