The hotel room was lovely but £187 for one night (booked last minute and arriving at 5pm) and not incl breakfast was a bit much. It was just me and my partner and dinner finished earlier than 7pm, last orders at the bar were 8.30pm… Breakfast finished at 9.30am and there was a £14.95pp charge for it. Bit steep onto of the room rate.

Decided to spend the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. What a great choice in selecting the Camelia. From the moment of entering the property you were made to feel welcome and an ease of check in and shown to room. We were in room 19 which is on the ground floor at the back of the property overlooking a lovely little courtyard. Spacious double room, spotlessly clean and a great overhead shower. Great breakfast and agin the staff were immaculate in presentation and service. Would highly recommend
