    The hotel had given a lot of thought to the little extras in our room, chocolates, cordial in the fridge with water and fresh milk. We enjoyed an excellent meal in the evening. Would recommend the lamb cigar starter! The room was very spacious...

    Very welcoming. Staff friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant and the food was very good with generous portions. Nicely cooked steak with delicious sauce and the chicken Milanese was tasty. Good chips, though these were an extra cost. Nice...
