We booked a 1 bed room and for a mum and son, absolutely perfect. Room was very clean, there were chairs to sit in, beds were very comfy (although the single may be a little soft for an adult). There were also extra blankets in the cupboard which were very much appreciated. Everything we needed for a short trip. I would definately stay here again., Fiona Bygrave, 4 months ago > We had an excellent stay here last night. We are a family of 5 and the two bdrm unit was just perfect. The relieving manager collected us and dropped us off to airport - what a lovely guy!
