“Wonderful service and experience”
I was visting the beautiful Lighthouse Bar for a sundowner and light meal, and made to feel so welcome. As it was raining unexpectedly when I was ready to leave the excellent concierge Julian kindly dropped me off where I was staying nearby. I return every year to this wonderful hotel.
