A lovely couple days. A classy old-world hotel staffed by excellent people.
Pros:

The staff, meals and communal areas were all excellent. Both restaurants were very good, the Gallery exceptional.

Cons:

Our only gripe was the bathroom which had a shower over the bath and no hand rails. We are not young!! As pointed out by the lovely receptionist, I should have requested a walk in shower.
