        A lovely hotel; it really has everything you could wish for, especially for children. The food is varied and delicious. The staff are very friendly and happy to accommodate special requests. The new highlight is the ‘play paradise’ for the children, but parents and grandparents enjoy it too. We’d love to come back and would like to extend our warmest thanks to all the staff.

        The hotel is ideal if you’re travelling with children – in my case, with my granddaughter. It has plenty to offer children, and we made use of the hotel’s swimming pool every day, for example. Our room was quiet and comfortably furnished.
