If you're thinking about it? Book it now!!

After wanting to visit for a long time... I can only say.... I wish we had stayed sooner!! The staff were amazing. Reception were extremely welcoming. The restaurant staff were both friendly and accomodating. The bar staff were fantastic!! We even got a little historical tour, conducted at around midnight by one of the members of bar staff.
