"The hotel is very dated and the rooms a little quirky. Our room in particular sloped in various directions the tv bureau sloped one way and the desk table another. Difficult when trying to make a coffee in the morning when the cup slides down the table. However an enjoyable stay."

Nice hotel with great spa
"Spa was amazing, worth booking. The finer details like the sparkling water were also a nice treat. Location and hotel were nice. Toilet door didn't lock and didn't stay shut which was unfortunate and some of the lights didn't turn on but there was still plenty of light"
