We were travelling with a 92 year old lady with limited mobility so were delighted to find our double Queen room had a large, easily accessible bathroom with a large walk-in shower. Room service was very quick and meals delicious, especially the battered blue cod.

I give you a distinction for your hotel room! It was perfect. Comes with everything we need and the furnishings was luxurious. The price comes with hotel breakfast but the coffee is from filtered coffee. This is the only slight disappointment during the stay
