ful techno-sleek decor scheme, vivid with all the colours of the neon rainbow. Rooms are
modern and comfortable; suites contain hot tubs and rain showers. The Scottish pub and
Italian restaurant on the premises are a nice bonus.

Perch yourself on the sunny deck of this boat-restaurant and choose from a casual interna-

however, it gets no better than that simple, moreish Swedish delight - fresh grilled herring.
