Really fantastic experience

fabulous restaurantexcellent servicehelpful advice
I found a fabulous restaurant each evening. Wow, the food was very nice, the price was great, and service was excellent. A special thank you goes to David, the night porter. He gave helpful advice from the marathon course. The staff was excellent, as was the breakfast. I would stay here again if returning to the area.
The minimal car parking spaces are a let down, though a pay and display car park behind exists.
