"This is a beautiful hotel my friends had their wedding reception there and what a fabulous evening . I went on my own and treated myself to stay there which yes was a tad expensive but totally worth every penny. My room was luxurious so clean , beautiful. The breakfast was fantastic and a heated outdoor pool was just the answer for a bit of a hangover"
