I loved the hotel, rooms, meal, drinks, service, privacy and location. A perfect spot for my 50th birthday and much commented upon by my guests. Daniel looked after us really well on the night.

Only one server who was a little overwhelmed trying to cope with 20 of us.

A wonderful venue for our daughters first birthday party.

Agata responded quickly and the venue did everything on the day so we didn’t have to worry at all.
