10/10 Excellent
"We loved this hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The food was amazing at both restaurants and the breakfast had a great selection. The spa was fab and the views from the harbour were spectacular. It was a nice walk up into town through parkland and conveniently located for the boat trip we took."
