Have just come back from a weekend staying in this hotel, it was such a lovely place to stay. The staff were amazing, very polite, friendly and helpful especially the two ladies working when we arrived on the Friday evening and the lady serving breakfast Saturday morning and this morning. Breakfast was great, scrambled eggs were the best. Hotel is in such a great location. Room was lovely, really clean and loved the spa bath and shower. Will definitely go back.
