    Excellent for gluten free travellers

    rating28 May 2026

    Excellent hotel and facilities but even more praise for the chefs and restaurant staff for catering so well for one of our group who was coeliac. We highlighted this with reception on arrival and the chef had been notified ahead of our first meal. At each meal the restaurant staff highlighted which of the abundant buffet options would be suitable and when selected the choices were prepared separately in the kitchen to avoid cross contamination including salads/sides and fruit etc. Portions were generous and beautifully presented.
