Allow for an hour. The entrance to the hotel isn’t obvious so count the ‘house’ numbers so that you know you’ve arrived. The hotel was cool and airy and comfortable. Our host - Gabriella - was very informative, relaxed and engaging.

Gabrielle and Hannah were incredible. They accommodated us even though we were late due to the strike. The group was great as we laughed so much. Gabrielle was very knowledgeable and I would go to see both of them as they were fantastic. I would tell anyone coming here that the port and chocolate pairing was amazing.
