Excellent stay. Customer service throughout was superb, we were made to feel so welcome. Room was lovely, spacious and recently refurbished. Food for dinner and breakfast was delicious. Great location and so relaxing. We would certainly return. Highly recommended.
Room hadn’t been cleaned correctly. No spoons for tea/coffee in room, only one biscuit too. Service was very slow. Breakfast and the tasting menu was amazing.
