This is a lovely hotel, very clean, nicely decorated.
My only negative point is that the hotel was hosting a corporate event in the bar one afternoon, we were made to feel we couldn’t use the bar area and were made to feel very unwelcome at that point. We did get service but not without feeling awkward.
Other than that the staff were helpful and the room great.
