    “A young guy on Front of House (not the manager) was fantastic – super friendly, down-to-earth, and drove us around in the buggy with a great attitude. The in-room kitchen setup was also a massive plus; having proper cooking facilities and a full-size fridge is rare and genuinely useful. The shuttle bus is a great concept as well, though adding more frequent run times would make it far more practical. The free bikes were a nice gesture too, though eBikes would have been much better for getting around (we ended up hiring some in town).”
