This hotel is a new discovery for us and we are thrilled with it! So much so, we cancelled another reservation to extend our stay here. Beautiful, elegant with high end service and a wonderful staff who have an eye for details. This is a great hotel. We can’t wait to return.

The hotel has a cosy boutique feeling, with nice decor. Unfortunately the check in process is slightly confused and lengthy. We arrived and were asked to take a seat and then they brought paperwork and a card machine to take a deposit, we were then left uninformed as to next steps and waited for 40 mins before being shown to the room. The room was very small and rather dark but well appointed.
