Bed was very comfy. Easy to get around nice and central , Food was lovely especially sea bass .

Hilary United Kingdom

Room - although not part of the main building, it was large, clean and with good storage and plenty of surfaces to place things. Good facilities like hooks, mirrors, plugs, tea, coffee, safe, hair dryer. Breakfast - excellent, not too big but lovely locally sourced ingredients. The staff were extremely efficient at serving considering it was all table service due to covid. Dinner - Food was good, the vegetables were plain boiled which wouldn't be my choice but the lamb was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. We chose a glass of Chardonnay and a glass of the Shiraz, both of which were great. Staff - the staff throughout our stay were superb, couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming.
