Manager Eric is great. Lovely man and if anything goes wrong we have no doubt he'll be there before you know it and fix it. There are probably more no smoking signs than available electrical sockets, many of which already have small, and being used, extension leads in them. The kitchen could be a little better equipped. The place is nicely furnished, everything was spotles when we arrived. Minor gripes aside we will probably use this place again just taking a few extra things with us.
