the staff offered a friendly welcome. our room had plenty of space for my dog's things. the gardens were beautiful and it was a pretty walk over to breakfast (i really liked the gardens). the evening meal was tasty with beautifully presented desserts.
i found no instructions in the room for operating the heating. it was a bit cold upon my arrival. the mains power switch for the shower was turned off (it was very difficult to locate). the shower situation wasn't great.
