Summary: Lovely room, spacious, light and modern. It was very clean with a comfortable king size bed and en suite shower. Check-in at the bar was quick and easy. We ate in the bar that evening and had breakfast there the next day. I thought the food was rather expensive and a bit underwhelming, but my husband enjoyed the food. I would definitely stay there again but, maybe, find somewhere else to eat. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
