Some areas of the hotel have been upgraded since our last visit including the Spa and it’s a massive improvement. Staff are friendly and efficient. We weren’t massively keen on the food in the Jigger Inn. However it was busy so maybe we’re in the minority there. Overall a very good stay, we’ll definitely be back.
