A beautiful place to stay and excellent location, we would definitely stay here again
Pros:

Beautiful and comfortable room with available refreshments in the room and a large room to relax in. Well appointed with mirrors and plug sockets

Cons:

The bar closed at 8pm on our first evening, would’ve been nice to have a night cap before retiring to bed. Restaurant closed. We did have prior warning to this information.
