The gym got a high recommendation and I see why! The equipment is excellent. Pool facilities looked to be well looked after. Jess, the gym worker is great at her job! She socialized so well and managed the gym and pool!
I booked a Christmas meal. It was pricey! The vegetables tasted undercooked. The potatoes were undercooked too, I found.
