Comfortable Stay and Spa Experience

friendly staffcomfortable roomdelicious dinnerunvaried menu
I found the staff very friendly upon arrival. My room was comfortable, and the food was excellent in the bar. The dinner was also delicious, and I would definitely return. We were celebrating an anniversary.
The menu in the restaurant did not change over two years. It was disappointing. I hoped to see some new dishes.
