We love staying here, it’s a yearly tradition for my birthday and we can’t wait to stay again next year. Staff is always lovely. Room is so spacious and clean with an amazing view. The lobby bar is always a great spot with friendly staff to have a glass of wine before dinner! Location is also fabulous ...

Very clean room, good breakfast. Only used the sauna but unfortunately the temperature thermostat is preset and can not be modified and it was not hot enough for an enjoyable experience.
