The obvious choice
Always a pleasure staying here. The rooms are always kept up to date and staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is a convenient choice and the heated swimming pool always available. The gardens and pond give it the added flair worth coming back.

Pleasant place to stay.
Very pleasant and quiet surroundings. I enjoyed walking around to see the gardens and the international artwork. The room was spacious and comfortable. The refrigerator needed a freezer compartment to refreeze an icepack. Also, a microwave would have been nice.
