The hotel is in a beautiful setting. I was up for a close friends wedding and had a fantastic weekend - the whole weekend went without a glitch, the lobby was lovely to chill out in, the rooms were a good size and very comfortable with a lovely en-suite (only fault was the shower curtain which did not keep the water inside the bath - the floor was soaked after a shower!) The food was delicious for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the staff were friendly and helpful. It was a great weekend.
