@paulclammer @SeaMills100 In 14 years of living in Bristol I never made it there. Duh!
ACQUAVERDE, AĞVA
One of the first hotels you'll come to when you arrive in Ağva, north of İstanbul on the Black Sea coast, is Acquaverde which has a fine lawn running down to the Göksu river.
This is a fine place to stay with comfortable, fairly simple rooms accompanying fine public areas with lots of cosy cushions on which to relax at the end of the day even in winter when big log fires are a drawcard. Outside in the grounds an outdoor pool sits in an annexe that can be opened to the sky in summer.
Thumbs up: Wonderful pool, comfortable bar area
Thumbs down: No lift
