Overnight
We only stayed for one night. We had a lovely room on the second floor and everything that we’d expect from a good hotel. Breakfast was excellent with a continental buffet and cooked to order choice. It was quite expensive though and would have been nice to be included in the room rate. Our only criticism would be the bar / restaurant area which was in the basement. It catered for everyone including children, we would of liked an adult only area to relax in and enjoy a afternoon / evening drink.
