Hotel terrible
The restaurant,food was lovely but the actual hotel was terrible. You had loads of stairs to get to our room. We went for one of their better rooms well if thats their good rooms I'd hate to see there cheap rooms. The room was dirty a lick of paint would go a miss. Coffee marks on the wall. It was very noisy.

The hotel is in a beautiful location with idyllic surroundings and has wonderful staff. My only recommendation would be the regarding the decor which is a little dated, especially in the bedrooms. Highly recommended.
