Fantastic hotel. Worth every cent!
Pros:

Booked this Hotel to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. Amazing location. The best steak I’ve ever had in the Grill restaurant. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Good drink selections in the bar. Room was clean, spacious and had all needed facilities.

Would definitely recommend and will definitely be booking this hotel again.
