Fantastic Stay with Amazing Views
clean room helpful staff
The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. I found the bed very comfortable and the bathroom lovely with a separate shower and a bath. Every member of staff were lovely and helpful. They were friendly and professional. I could not fault them in any way.
The hotel felt a bit lifeless. I noticed a lack of background music playing in the lounge area. Soft music would greatly improve the ambiance.

I told the hotel about my dairy and soya intolerance when I booked. They did not have veggie sausages, hash browns, or soya free bread. My soya free bread for toast was with the croissants.
