Everything was great apart from noise transference from other rooms and the corridor outside. Considering the hotel had been renovated recently I would have thought that some soundproofing improvements would have been made. I could literally hear the people in the room next door talking normally and people talking to each other in the corridor when walking past.

We stayed in one of the newly refurbished rooms and we were very impressed. It was decorated to a high standard, very clean, super comfy bed and the little extras like the dressing gowns in the wardrobe just added to the luxury feel. We enjoyed it so much we are planning to visit again later in the year.

The room was spotless and well decorated. It was spacious with lots of storage. The bed was large comfortable and linen was changed everyday. The hotel is beautiful with a restaurant, bar, coffee bar and veranda all decorated in a victorian theme. The view across the harbour to the Abbey is breathtaking. The staff are attentive and accomodating, very polite and well presented. This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in and i would highly recommend that people stay here.
