The location is fabulous. The overall style, atmosphere and decor is wonderful and the team here are warm and welcoming. The only downside for me is my room was on the ground floor at the back of the hotel. The window wouldn’t open so I couldn’t get fresh air, the shutters didn’t stop any light coming in and there was a strong outdoor light which illuminated my room at night so it was challenging to sleep. On the whole though, I will return but I’ll definitely ask for another room.
