the courtyard rooms were very well maintained. the food was excellent , and the staff were good. i found the spa in its own little house with very cute staff. the drawing room and dining room had exquisite views.
my room looked a little dated , and the bed was too short. breakfast felt overpriced at £25 each , considering the quality and quantity didn't quite match the price.
