A gem

This is an incredible find, I loved it so much that I almost don't want to tell others about it. Absolutley everything was superb. The decor, facilities, food and the staff really were genuinely friendly and professional. Having stayed at many hotels over the years this is the first time in many years that I have had such a wholly positive experience of a hotel, especially the service.

Mixed feelings overall

Booked through Hotels.com 5 rooms bed and breakfast. Hotel had us down as breakfast only so we had to pay again for it - when I queried they said it was down to Hotels.com, not them. Everyone then had to pay £10 except myself who for some reason was made to pay £15 (despite being told on the phone by reservations when I called to query the bed and breakfast situation that it would be £10). When I queried why I had to pay more, I was met with a smile but no explanation or offer to sort. In te grand scheme of things, £5 is nothing but its the principle. Room was lovely and clean, bar staff were fab, food was nice but the restaurant was soulless.
