This is a superb hotel with large clean rooms, top class food, top class service and I would jump at the chance to stay here again. I hope to get back again soon. The location and surrounding area is beautiful and a visit to Portsalon a must. They could not do enough for us in the hotel and we got 5 star treatment all the week. 10/10.
