Very pleasant hotel. Room spotless and comfortable. Wifi terrible but that is a small point. The kitchen was closed while we were there but breakfast was supplied although dinner not an option which was a pity. Lovely location and excellent waiters - very helpful and friendly.

Beautiful location but service was slow
We had a lovely stay for one night. The hotel location is stunning and we were delighted to see this on arrival.
We had a room with a beautiful view but the interior of the hotel was comfortable but quite dated.
Dinner was delicious but we waited a long time for it.
Breakfast was ok but we had to go and look for cutlery and ask for coffee as it wasn’t replaced.
Overall it was ok and we would return.

The hotel is in a fantastic location. If you’re expecting modern and contemporary then think again. It’s an old building but the staff are very nice and it has character.

Such a beautiful and relaxing setting. A quiet ambient indoor setting to and furnished well. The food was adequate at breakfast and the evening meal was good.
An improvement would be better quality pillows as the ones provided where flat and uncomfortable.
