10/10 Excellent

Stayed for 3 nights - 2 adults and 2 children. Accommodation was very good, clean and spacious enough. Used the pool - very nice! Breakfast buffet was great - cooked food, cereal, fruit etc - something to suit everyone. Restaurant was also excellent. Would definitely stay here again on our next visit.
