The room was clean, also spacious (i definitely noticed that). I found the bed huge and comfortable, even the duvet felt snug but light. Breakfast offered very good quality food, it was varied and plentiful. The staff were friendly and cute. they were professional and efficient in all their tasks.
I noticed only one small bottle of water was available in the room, this was an issue.

Excellent Stay

quiet settingspacious roomhelpful stafflimited fruit
I found the setting quiet, with a spacious room offering comfort. The food was good. Staff members were genuinely helpful and also quite friendly. Amy aided in planning and was amazing on the day, guiding guests and suppliers. It was like having a Maitre D available always.
The breakfast menu lacked local options. Orange juice was weak. Toast was not offered automatically, and fresh fruit quantity seemed minimal, disappointing.

The shower was slow to warm up and the water pressure wasn't great. I could hear wedding guests next door being very loud until late at night. Only one small bottle of water was in the room. That seemed a bit stingy, especially considering the cost.
