“It recognises their dedication, commitment to excellence and genuine desire to provide guests with an unforgettable stay.

“We have created elegant bedrooms, classic, stylish bathrooms and modernised facilities finished off to a very high standard with Blu-Ray DVD players, Smart TVs and luxurious bathroom products.”

The inspectors’ report said: “The hotel has many positive features, the quality and design of the hotel is very good.”
