Delicious Dinner!

I had a fantastic experience at the Rally Bar and Grill. The menu offered an impressive variety of local dishes that were well-prepared. The highlight was the beautifully cooked lamb, served exactly to my preference. Overall, the dining experience was nice and I'd definitely return.

Perfect Relaxation!

The spa facilities, including the sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi, created the perfect atmosphere to unwind after a long day. The jacuzzi was particularly inviting, providing a soothing escape that everyone in our family enjoyed. It was a real treat to have family-friendly wellness options.

Cozy and Spotless!

Our room was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully equipped with a hairdryer, ironing facilities, and tea making amenities. The complimentary biscuits were a sweet touch that made us feel at home. It's the little things that truly elevate the stay.

I recently attended a wedding at this hotel and had a wonderful time. The wedding food was fantastic, particularly the roast beef that I couldn't get enough of. However, while my room was well-appointed, it lacked electric points near the bed for my CPAP machine, which was a minor inconvenience. Overall, a lovely experience with some room for improvement on the amenities.
