The hotel was beautiful and all the wonderful festive decorations made it feel very special. Bar staff were wonderful. I loved sipping my gin by the warm crackling fire place. The breakfast room was wonderful with lovely views of the snowy mountain tops. Great selection available for breakfast. My Eggs Royal were lovely, thank you for our amazing stay!

The only issue we had was our room was right by the main entrance and it was so loud of a morning and night, people smoking and chatting right outside the window, Room 1. Loved everything else, just a shame we had that room.
