We loved our stay here. Our suite was spacious, comfortable and luxurious, and we were warmly welcomed. The in-house dining experience was superb, especially the pre-dinner drinks around an open fire, and chats with other guests. Scrumptious breakfast the next morning was a highlight too. Highly recommend this place!

The hotel is set in a period building, however the interiors are very modern, stylish and stunningly well designed. The service was excellent, and the breakfast (which was included in the room rate) was first class. We ate in the restaurant in the evening which served an excellent tapas meal which is great for sharing. I would highly recommend this hotel

Rooms are beautiful. Great design and style. The owners are friendly and attentive. We stayed for 4 nights and only criticism was the sameness of the breakfast offer, but that is a very small gripe in anotherwise first class bed and breakfast
