"The hotel location was fantastic and the facilities were very good- what unfortunately let things down was that there weren’t enough staff particularly for the bar/bistro. There were some great outdoor seating areas as well as the indoor bar area, but they were only ever served by 1 person. The restaurant was a bit better, although the food was excellent it was let down by not enough staff to serve the number of guests."
