A comfortable good quality hotel
Pros:

Comfortable, a well-designed bathroom, good food in the restaurant.

Cons:

The wait staff in the bar and restaurant were friendly but a little over the top, especially in sharing frustration if things went wrong back of house. The bathroom didn't have bar soap. Our room was on the top floor, up 2 flights of stairs, OK but gave us quite a workout.

Great stay, but because of the weather rooms were overly hot, and the fan supplied was not strong enough to cool it down
Pros:

Always a great stay, friendly staff, and great food

I had high hopes for this one
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful from outside
But the room was in need of some TLC. Very poor bedding like I have seen better quality pillows and duvet in a basic B&B.
They seemed short staffed as there was no one at the reception to greet us till 5 minutes later.
Food and drink was good.
Me and husband spent a night in there for our wedding anniversary
This was mentioned when I completed the booking. However there was not a single mention of that during the whole stay.
I have stayed in so many hotels in Europe over so many different occasions and we always have been acknowledged while celebrating. A total disappointment
Not more than a 2 star ✨️ I'm afraid

Cons:

Mentioned above
