Absolutely beautiful hotel. Staff were so helpful. I had an accessible room. Lovely and comfortable with a wet room. Our room was very close to a lift, essential for me. Our dinner was lovely. Very efficient staff. Breakfast was excellent. A really fine selection. Probably the best I have seen or eaten.
