the breakfast was acceptable with various choices available.
The pool area was unexpectedly chilly. It wasn't the relaxing experience i anticipated. also, the service at dinner felt disorganized. It took a while to sort out the correct bills, and the math seemed confusing for the staff, i felt overcharged almost £200 at settling the bill initially.

The breakfast buffet offered a good variety and the food was hot, which i appreciated. The staff were kind, and. I also enjoyed the lovely grounds, and the swimming pool had a nice mix of locals and guests. the hotel clearly reaches out to its community.
During my valentine's stay, i booked a king suite, but it was disappointing. The bed consisted of two single beds joined together, and the duvet was two singles zipped together. the room needed some tlc, with dust on surfaces and a hole in the shower ceiling.
