good STAY

attentive staffdecent portionoutdoor hot tubmissing charging point
The staffs are lovely and attentive. i enjoyed the evening set menu, with very decent portion sizes. the outdoor hot tub was a plus. It was big enough for six people.
There were no usb charging points in the rooms. This is an easy fix. the lift went only up one level, a bit pointless to use our room was on the third floor.

the restaurant offers nice meals, and the staff provides friendly service. i ate dinner twice, and each time the food tasted good. breakfast was also good, though the tables are a little too close together.
