This was a great stay for our group. We utilised their airport transfer service, they were prompt and proactive with phone contact to arrange pickup and our room was open and ready when we arrived at the accommodation. Room was clean and had everything for our needs. Staff were friendly and super helpful right up to the Railway station transfer tne next morning. Would definitely stay again. Thanks
