Really good Dining Experience

“We dined at the hotel's restaurant, True South, on both evenings of our stay, and the food was simply excellent. Each dish we tried was expertly prepared, showcasing a variety of flavours, particularly the steak with jus that I ordered with French fries; it was lovely. My family also enjoyed the banana tarte tartin, which received rave reviews. The ambiance was good, making our dining experience one of the highlights of our visit.” view full review
