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.

Fabulous Hotel

Such a beautiful hotel, staff were fantastic and the food is absolutely delicious. I stayed in room 101, which had an outside terrace. The room and bathroom were huge and the bed extremely comfortable. So great that I booked a couple of night for my next business trip. Thank you.

Lovely hotel

My stay at the hotel as always was really good! Staff are really friendly and my room this time was great as I was on top floor so really quiet. Food is amazing!! £10.40 for a glass of wine is quite steep though.
