good stay

pleasant hotel - nice ambience - good food (great starters / good mains / desserts could be better - excellent breakfast) - the room was a bit "boring" as in too plain - good health centre - please change the pictures in the corridor from reception to the bedrooms. Beautiful grounds and excellent facilities in the Club House.
