Great hotel. Vastly exceeded my expectation. Lovely spacious room. Mine had a terrace where it was nice to sit with a beer or glass of wine while the sun went down. Restaurant is fantastic for breakfast and dinner. Only slight niggle is frustrating WiFi which has to be rejoined at least daily and frequently more often.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. The meals were excellent, however I’d recommend that you book your time of eating in advance of staying at the hotel because the week end was very busy and we didn’t get served our meal the Saturday night until after 8 pm.

The breakfast menu was excellent as was the dinner menu. Only problem was that we should have booked a a dinner time before arriving as it was extremely busy on the Saturday and only time left was 7.30 so it was well after 8 pm before we actually ate. The bed was very comfortable but pillows we thought weren’t high quality so spoilt our sleep.
