fantastic family venue

this hotel is a fantastic family friendly venue. multiple playgrounds and facilities exist for young kids. they also have child minders available for free during meal times. this can be a GREAT help in between.
The breakfast was good. It could do with a variety of sausages. i suggest adding some more options for those who like spicy sausages. this would make the breakfast even better.
