Would never go back again. The restaurant was very nice and the guy behind the bar looking after was fantastic but the da Olivier’s were terrible room Wise. Very old and tired.

I always thought time travel was impossible, until this room transported me back to the 1970’s, and not in a free love and moon age daydream kind of way. It could easily be repurposed as a museum to all the domestic appliance and fittings that were tried and then thankfully rejected
