BEAUTIFUL HOTEL
Pros:

This Hotel is absolutely stunning, it is one of the historic hotels which has been refurbished beautifully.
Our room was excellent, spacious with a very comfortable King bed, an excellent bathroom attached.
We dined in the Restaurant the first night and the food was delicious, we also had a few drinks in the outside area.
It is right in the center of the township which is delightful to wander around.
The staff were excellent, happy and friendly, everyone we saw had a smile and a greeting.
Would highly recommend.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing.

A must visit to this enjoyable weekender
Pros:

The style, the room comfort, the speak easy bar and the Friday evening music there. The welcome drink was cool. The parking was convenient and close by. The lightning in the hallway was light and airy. The coffee was excellent.

Cons:

The in room light switches featured small blue LED lights- the room mirror had a large white one - these lit up the room at night and we found some tape to cover them se we could sleep in darkness. The restaurant meal was only adequate. The staff were great there though - but the menu was limited as was the wine selection. More claasic meals please, our wonderful snapper was drowned in the sauce- it should be offered on the side. The bread four portions on the plate not three please. Duck was not rendered well enoough on our night.
