a blissful respite

comfy bed electric shutters amazing variety restful sleep

the room was lovely it featured a comfy bed i especially liked the electric shutters i could darken the room completely the view from the room overlooked the upper city a romantic sight. the breakfast was wonderful it presented amazing variety. i particularly enjoyed the blackout electric shutters i could darken the room completely ensuring restful sleep.

the bar area seemed slightly disorganised at times it was occasionally difficult to find someone available to serve drinks this did not significantly affect my overall experience but it would be useful if there were consistently more staff.
