We were impressed by everything about the hotel ... Superb location, excellent meals, very kind and friendly staff. We were especially pleased with Dan and his welcome and kind service throughout our stay. It was a little strange that ownership was off shore but the existing staff work very hard.

Attractive setting. Helpful staff in hotel but non on site after 9pm. Tasty breakfast.
As soon as I walked in, I was impressed.
Beautiful Naomi at reception had already upgraded my room.
Which was warm, fluffy towels, luxury tea tray.
The cafe has great coffee served by super friendly Anna.
I travel a lot and often skip a hotel b'fast due to the poor quality, but this one was delicious and made from scratch. Yum!
Naomi made up the real fire for me so that I could do some work in the lounge before I left.
Excellent and highly recommended.
