A very enjoyable and relaxing stay, we will certainly return.
Pros:

Staff, service, food all excellent. The breakfasts are superb, both quality and quantity (I felt guilty I couldn't fully finish one breakfast there was so much).

Cons:

The only slight criticism was the lack of storage in our room but it was a truly minor concern and we would happily stay in that room again.

Lovely location, great rooms, welcoming team and delicious food
Pros:

Fabulous hotel and restaurant, staff were all very welcoming. Restaurant was excellent both for dinner and breakfast.
The room was very comfortable and tastefully decorated, air conditioning was a nice surprise in the heat!

Cons:

Our bathroom was a little snug with no where to put toiletries etc but beautiful decorated and perfectly okay for one night.
