Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The hotel is beautiful. The staff we encountered were absolutely lovely and friendly. The food was amazing too. We will come back.
Negative: We didn't quite understand why we couldn't order a cocktail when we arrived and were told that no cocktails are made for weddings. It was even more surprising when our friends turned up with cocktails after the ceremony. We were puzzled by the reason why the response varied and mainly why no cocktails, especially when there is such a great bar full of amazing choices.
Summary: A lovely venue
