Really disappointing stay. Waited until 5:45pm to gain access to room ready for arriving guests (it took 3 shots at finding a clean made-up room) …… Breakfast service poor too. Not worth the money sadly.

It was fine. Overall the staff was available but they seemed distracted or just understaffed. We had to ask for things multiple times and items would be forgotten. The fan in our room was really dusty and dirty and the windows as well, and there was a loose tile in the bathroom which didn’t seem safe. The bed was very comfortable and the views from the room were amazing. Sunday roast was delicious but the complimentary breakfast was nothing special. Felt like an afterthought.
