What a lovely time my partner Sophia and I had here! The positive experience began even before we got there with Emilia being so helpful on the phone with Sophia, helping her to plan what was a special occasion for us. Then Izzy at check-in made us feel so welcome. We had a lovely room with a sea view and a free standing copious bath at the window overlooking it. The room had tall ceilings and a sense of history but was anything but jaded. The decor was sympathetic to the building but clean and fresh. It was a lovely space to spend time in rather than simply an hotel room. Then the hotel itself took the experience to another level again The staff were just lovely and incredibly helpful. We had a half a cream cake from a lunch celebration that we asked them to refrigerate for us. Not only did they do that, but after dining at the hotel - gorgeous food - they served us the cake with our after dinner cocktails. Loved this place. Can’t recommend it enough!

Food was very tasty and reasonable too. €88 euro for 4 mains and 5 drinks. Our waitress Aya was very nice and polite. I will definitely be back again.
