Very good.

Liked: We had a courtyard room, which was clean and comfortable with everything you needed..but quite small if you were staying for more than a couple of nights. We had a couple of issues with the fine dining restaurant, but it was their first night of reopening same..and all problems were resolved by the maitre d, which was sincerely appreciated. We attended a family funeral wake, which was absolutely excellent, well organised and lovely food.Special thanks go the lovely lady receptionist, sorry can't remember her name ...who was so kind and helpful, 5
