Really good stay!

clean room great facilities excellent shower delicious breakfast
The twin room was very clean. It was also well presented with great facilities. I thought the shower was very good. The full English breakfast started the day well. I would definitely book again.
The window did not open very wide so fresh air was limited.

great food attentive staff beautiful location
i thought the staff acted very attentively. i found the food great and the accommodation fantastic. i especially appreciated how beautiful the location was, it enhanced the whole experience, i really enjoyed it.
the breakfast arrangement was not completely ideal since a fresh, hot option in the hotel would have been better. i am sure this is something that can be fixed!
