The room, parking and the size was excellent. Needed more attention to cleanliness - some mild in shower; dust on bathroom heating system; hand cleanser and body wash very watery? Food was very good; reception and staff very nice Wine list had gaps - our first few picks were all unavailable (they said a wedding cleaned them out!) We were not here for golf but I would stay again and play golf next time.

I was disappointed that the fog didn’t lift until the morning of my check-out time. Most of my two night stay there was low fog over the river & you couldn’t see the mountains at all. However the apartment was really spacious & comfortable, plus had everything you could need in the kitchen. The staff were lovely & although I didn’t have a meal at the Clubhouse, I ordered some takeaway snacks which were really delicious. I would go back!
