Excellent Location

Wonderfully supplied room, very comfortable and quiet. Breakfast and dinner was spectacular, very tasty and for dinner there was a smaller portion option which was perfect for me! My only niggle was the staff were not very friendly or welcoming. However, I had little contact with them so I would definitely stay again. Location was excellent, beautiful views.
