Unfortunately they had 'staffing issues', hence no reception welcome. A young lady tending bar directed me to read a message giving details to enter the room etc. Complimentary breakfast consisted of cereal, yogurt, juice, stale bread and croissants. Coffee machine was the only saving grace. As the restaurant was closed due to the staff issues, we had to dine elsewhere, returning at 8.30pm to find the bar and lounge area in closed and in darkness.

Lovely property but breakfast a bit disappointing- coffee machine broken which was only thing we wanted. Staff nice but bit inexperienced. No welcome area even though it’s a beautiful reception. Plus points were spa bath - great and properly is in great location. Try Cinnamon restaurant next door- fantastic

Gorgeous property with boutique accommodation, awesome service, afternoon cocktails and continental breakfast. It’s like a retreat in the middle of town. We had a queen room and it was roomy, huge tv, you can order a platter if you wanted too. Really loved staying here.
