This place is great! Smart hotel, worth popping in for afternoon tea, a cocktail or late night DJ hearing. Quite pricey, but it is beautiful and upmarket. The Principal Hotel had a rumoured £25 million spend and the bar is centre piece. Go and have a look, even if you don't order drinks. Dog friendly, child friendly and up-lifting.
