Just back from lunch at The Cottonwood Boutique Hotel. The hotel's had a make-over to become 'boutique' and is now very boldly decorated in puce/pink.

We decided to pop to the Cottonwood for glass of wine after work, and were more than pleasantly surprised! Gorgeous surroundings - lavishly decorated yet with a cosy feel, wonderfully attentive staff and then there was the delicious food, amazing wine & entertainment.
