The style is an eclectic medley that works; expect woodland-inspired hand-painted walls and framed paintings of birds, plush velvet seating, neutral flooring and walls, two original stone fireplaces and even a signature image of a horse made from Swarovski Crystal. The accents of bling certainly add glamour.
Every member of staff is approachable. We particularly liked Marta who served our tasting menu; she was enthusiastic about the wine pairing and had personal recommendations for the non-drinker from creative cocktails to a house-blend lemon, mint and green tea digestive. The gym stands out in terms of the latest equipment, cleanliness and sheer size, they even have a spin studio.
