Nice hotel in general although the shower this time was tiny, felt like I was in a cupboard. Poor WiFi and disappointed that the bar closed at 10pm, I appreciate it dues not belong to the hotel but you think they would have an agreement as 99% of hotel clients use it. Staff were excellent and breakfast was very good

Lovely hotel & room. Surroundings were beautiful. Super arrangement (coffee shop) for breakfast, but only one option from the menu was too limited. Food when it arrived wasn't hot enough really. Should have pointed this out. Don't like to make a fuss.

The breakfast was awful. We had to book time slot. However when we arrived the eggs weren’t ready. I informed them in advance I was vegetarian when arrived for breakfast they asked if I anted vegetarian sausage. I waited 15 minutes and hen I asked if it was ready waitress said she forgot to order it. Coffee was horrible although they had a coffee machine they just had jug of coffee on side. Hotel room was 5* however breakfast was 1*. Really disappointing
