    I stayed here as a young girl when I was 11yrs.
    A School holiday all the way from Warrington Cheshire and I was amazed by it then and looking at the picture it is exactly the same as I rmember.
    I have good memories full of mischief and fun with my fellow classmates.
    So sad to see that it is no longer a hotel.

    Sometimes people forget just what we really have.
