a Palace fit for a King 🤴
Pros:

Everything about the place was amazing and exceptional.the place actually looks better than any photos in its catalogue which can't be said about other places on the site.
The town is also amazing and almost frozen in time from a bygone era.
I can only recommend this place to the point I'd be looking for little else in future on my next uk trip.

Cons:

There is nothing not to like. However the bar runs on a cashless policy which is all that I wouldn't be in favour of.
