Lovely place, great food and friendly staff
Great place to stay for Valentines day with good location. Lovely warm welcome from staff on arrival who showed us to our room. Stayed in room 5, gorgeous room which was very spacious.Cocktails were great and the food was delicious. Unfortunately we didnt sleep very well due to very hot room and faulty radiator. Comfy kingsize bed and great shower. Breakfast was delicious and member of staff was very helpful. Will definitely return
