Pros:

The reception staff were exeptional. Noah was very helpful with looking after my parents after we had to make an extra booking for them to join us, last minute. The cafe is great. As a coeliac, i was very grateful for all the gluten free options and the care they took with my diet requirements.

Cons:

Only one thing , the bed was very firm. But some people may prefer that.

Pros:

Room was small but nice (as we were only there to sleep of a night).
Needed another couch as we had 5 of us with only 1 sofa.
We had a water leak and were moved to 2 separate rooms which worked out better as we had more room..
Staff were beautiful and kind.
Was a great experience.
Thank you.

Cons:

No balcony.
