The room was really nice and spacious, but they really need an elevator (lift) as our room was 2 floors up and I am disabled. Food was excellent- we’re sorry we had to miss breakfast due to an early flight. Staff was very helpful.

Lovely hotel but very steep stairs and no lift, especially if you have mobility issues. No rooms on ground floor and only double room on second floor. Breakfast was lovely. Just wish hotels would think to put sockets beside the bed rather than on the opposite side of the room. Nice room with lovely views of the hills.
