Room was spacious, bed was comfy, and staff was friendly. Everything else was substandard. The weather was cold, windy, and rainy so the pool was not much use. No heater in the room so it was very cold in the room. Very few amenities (surprising considering the high price), no courtesy water, no hot water pot, etc. Also the room was extremely loud from wind noise, so loud we needed ear plugs to sleep. Breakfast was very BASIC at best. So disappointed with breakfast that when lunch and dinner time came around we looked elsewhere for restaurants. In short, not a good stay.

This hotel is outstanding and faultless. We wish that we'd stayed longer. The hotel is a 2 minute drive from cafes and restaurants, and is therefore perfectly set in its own grounds and tranquility. The staff are excellent and attentive. The food is delicious - we ate both breakfast and dinner, and both were equally delicious. We have no hesitation - we would recommend this to everybody and would return again.
