    Excellent. Such a good variety of cooked and continental food. Cereals, drinks, and service was excellent.

    Public lounges, excellent staff (special mention to Bar Manager), location, breakfast. It was refreshing that the bar was still open and welcoming on return from an evening out. So many hotels do not offer this anymore. Our group had a great stay.
