The hotel has not long been refurbished to a really high standard, our room was very spacious and lovely an warm and tastefully decorated,. We ate in the hotel and the food was lovely, my only little complaint was the cooked breakfast wasn't very hot and the plates were cold. there was a good selection on the buffet breakfast and you could go back for more if needed, saying that we enjoyed our overnight stay and the location was amazing right by the water. Also all the staff very friendly and helpful and we would definitely return.
