the staff was lovely. I switched rooms because the first room had no bathroom door. My complaints, ceiling needed to be fixed, no where to hang and store clothes. Sunday lunch was tasty and fun. They were filming a TV dating show in the restaurant

The hotel is beautiful and my room was gorgeous. The staff were lovely and attentive. I worried about noise from outside, given the location, but there was none. It is clearly very well insulated from noise.

Are stay was pretty good but there were some things that could improve for example i had to go down twice to reception due to my key card not working but the issue was dealt with quickly and the staff apologised for the inconvenience. Also the room had some age related issues such as the main light housing in the room was peeling away and there were cracks in the tiles in the bathroom which made the tiles move a little when you stepped on them but, overall is was a good hotel and the staff were amazing.
