the restaurant provided beautiful food , and the staff were engaging and helpful. the accommodation was a good size. a nice bar area existed , allowing for relaxation.
i stayed four nights. my room had constant noise from what sounded like electric pumps , and every 20 minutes or so a loud roar came from gas burners. there was also no heating in the room, which could have been intolerable if the outside temperature was lower.

The breakfast was really good. I particularly enjoyed the high-quality ingredients used. The restaurant offered a pleasant dining experience. The rooms have been created to a high standard. The quality fixtures were noticeable.
My room felt a bit small. The walls seemed quite thin. I could hear noise in the morning. Housekeeping tried to come into the room early, around 9.30.
