Lovely property, with well decorated spaces. The room was quite large, with a very comfortable bed and a good shower. Picture perfect views from windows. Staff really welcoming, and happy to offer advice for dining options / local insider knowledge. Very good breakfast.

Best hotel writhin 1500 miles 😊

absolutely first rate hotel and service, One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. A bit pricey, but quality was unmatched. Perfect location, Far enough outside of town to avoid the masses of tourists, but close enough to walk within 10 minutes. Restaurant/food was amazing, but menu was a bit short.
