We arrived about 18:00 and my husband was due at a function very close to the hotel so he changed and I took him in our car, so that I knew where he was. I returned and took our three dogs out of the car and fed them on the carpark next to the car, then I took them for a walk. When I returned, I had dinner in the hotel restaurant. The staff were very welcoming and I did not feel as if I was alone. I think some of the other customers had been before, and the feeling I had from those customers and from the staff was as if we were one big family. The function finished about 22:30 when I drove our car to my husband (as he had luggage to carry), and I then walked the dogs back to the hotel, and took them and their bedding to our room. As the hotel advertises that pets are welcome, we expected a floor that was easy to wash, so were surprised to find that the room is carpeted. There is a modern, fresh look to the decor and the gardens, which include a pool, have a tropical look. The morning was frosty, so the Christmas reindeer were a lovely touch. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. As we had both eaten well the previous evening, neither of us wanted any breakfast so we enjoyed the opportunity to have a Sunday morning lie-in. We enjoyed the night away from home and, if there is a future opportunity, we will extend our stay and make a weekend visit. Thank you very much to the very helpful and welcoming staff, in particular to Gaelle. Best wishes to everyone.
