Lovely place, gorgeous views and friendly, helpful staff. The breakfast was very good too.
Very comfortable stay, in a spacious room with a clean en-suite. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good bar and nice food. Here for overnight stay en-route and would definitely return and maybe for a longer stay.
