Even with the renovation works, our stay was perfect. I do think that the difference between the two spa option is a little unnecessary but the basic option was great!

Lovely staff especially at the bar which was fitted out beautifully and I loved the little history lessons in the bar menu. The doors slam really hard and wake you up so soft closing doors would be a good investment! Nice hotel and really yummy breakfast
