I enjoyed a good lunch at the restaurant. The seafood tasted amazing especially the prawns. The decor was beautiful too. I was also impressed with the amazing service.
I did have to pay extra for parking. The cost was £27. I felt the spa area indoors could have been better. The indoor pool was very cold
