Booked this for my parents. They had a wonderful stay. They really enjoyed the spacious rooms, high quality breakfast. During their stay they also ate in the main restaurant and rated their steaks highly. Only area of improvement would be to have spa facilities (add thermal facilities).

We loved the hotel but the Tasting at Pullman was too long, only the sweet tastings were deserving of a Michelin star, and we left hungry. Based on this, we felt the experience was lacking and overpriced.
