We stayed Sunday to Tuesday. We arrived about 23.00. Staff were there to greet us and were in bed in no time. Room was spotless. Breakfast was plentiful. Something for everyone. Outside in parts was dated and needing renovated. Didn't affect our stay . Staff were pleasant and helpful. Cheery and friendly especially with my wee ones.

Although the rooms were a little tired, we found our stay comfortable and extremely convenient for the park. Breakfast was good but found the restaurant very cold (Temple) so we didn’t stay very long. The staff were helpful, especially Daniel, who was friendly and answered our questions. We would stay here again should we visit the park again.
