Lovely hotel staff, super welcoming and informative! After reading some of the reviews we were sceptical about our visit, however our stay was very nice and we felt very at home! We had the hotel breakfast once, it was very nice and worth the money, however it’s best to eat on the terrace (the indoor room was abit dated and quiet) being in such a nice location we were hardly in the hotel, but the times we were it was good !
