"A fabulous hotel with lovely staff and great dining options. The rooms have very comfortable beds and pillows, and blockout curtains. It was quiet too! The health club had good equipment as well as the lap pool and hot tub. Perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The lobby has many seating areas and fireplaces perfect for a quiet spot for a drink and chat away from the busy bar."
