Guest Review: The setting was amazing, the staff were amazing and the facilities/food were fantastic.
Guest Review: Breakfast, bath, location, friendly staff, complimentary upgrade, free walking guide
Guest Review: Upgrade on arrival was a great first impression and it got better from there. Great rooms side by side as travelling with our teenage son.The beds were comfortable, great shower (I did use the Spa facilities/ loved the large sauna especially after a 3 hour walk). It had that extra touch at breakfast where everything was served at your table (none of this queueing for the buffet or making your own toast thats become prevalent in hotels). Staff were great both at reception & in the restaurant.
