Positive: The rooms, the view, the ambience, the location and the staff were all excellent. The food both morning and evening was also of a very high quality. Highly recommend.
Negative: The broken divan on the the first night meant a night on the sofa. Credit to the hotel though they rectified this straight away and replaced the divan that day .
Summary: Delightful, peaceful and tranquil.
