Pros:

The interior of the hotel is lovely.

Cons:

The service in the bar is very slow. Dont be in a hurry. We were a large group, waited over an hour for our dinner to be served with small children.
Beds are very uncomfortable and the pillows are just as bad. Have stayed at this hotel before this weekend but would be reluctant to stay here again.
