Wonderful staff, lovely hotel.
Lovely warm welcome and so pleased with my spotlessly clean and comfortable room. Very quiet. The staff could not have been kinder or more helpful and the breakfast was amazing with special effort made for a vegan diet. I will definitely return.

Renovations
We have stayed here often but were really disappointed with our room after giving ourselves an upgrade due to us celebrating. Our room was "unfinished" and very sparse. No desk / dressing table, chair, pictures etc. Banging and drilling started at 9am both mornings. No long lie that we were expecting. We only learned when we got there that there was renovations going on and the swimming pool etc was not open either. We were really disappointed in the whole experience. We do realised that it is changing hands and it needs renovations but were really disappointed in the whole experience.
