"Staff very friendly & welcoming, big shout to Gary & Andy for the bowling absolute fantastic never picked a ball up in our lives but their patience & support really spurred us on, we paid for a suite & viewed a couple of rooms outside the main hotel & in our opinion it is very worth while paying extra for a suite, much more room and more quality."
