Staff very friendly, we loved the breakfast and the pool. The gym looks also great and has a lot of equipment, but we didn’t get a chance to use it. We enjoyed very many bike rides from the hotel - staff were always very supportive of having our bikes stored in their luggage store-room. Overall we gad a great experience
