Its reputation for old-world charm may appeal to some, but inconsistencies in service and amenities could leave discerning travelers wanting more. The commitment to local cuisine and the inviting lobby fireplaces are definite bright spots.”

a stay beyond compare!

attentive staffopen firesmagical location
I found the staff attentive. Adrian, the barman, was particularly friendly! open fires burned in the reception area. They created a very cute atmosphere. the location overlooking the bay felt magical to me.
The room cleaning was by request only. I found it a little inconvenient.
