    Loved the balcony and the hotel decor. It is very modern and quirky. Mini bar was reasonably priced. Welcome fizz on arrival was a lovely touch also.

    The staff were fabulous, so friendly and helpful. The rooms were lovely and comfortable. A free welcome glass of Prosecco on arrival and an extra bonus was that the room was ready early. The hotel itself is so stylish and done to a high standard.

    The hotel staff was very nice and made us feel welcome. The bar was great and the overall atmosphere was so nice. Only had breakfast one morning and it was good. Our room was beautiful :-)
