Wonderful and Super clean Rooms
wild flower meadow executive suite lovely garden
The room presented a wild flower meadow just outside the window. The executive suite was lovely and perfect for sharing. Gardens provided space for a refreshing walk, so peaceful and pretty.
The corridor outside the room was noisy, but that can't be helped.

charmed by the orchard
clean foyer polite staff tidy room
I found the entrance foyer clean AND inviting. Polite staff were always available. The room had tidy features with tea and coffee facilities plus biscuits.
The vegetarian menu seemed limited. I left comments previously about this issue and found it unchanged on this visit. The limited bar food, supposedly due to demand, was the same even when it was quiet.

The room was spacious and well equipped. It included a large bathroom and provided all necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The layout allowed for easy movement and relaxation after a busy day.

Acceptable Stay with Some Shortcomings
lukewarm food small bathrobes
the wait time for service in the restaurant was longer than anticipated. I waited nearly an hour between courses. The food arrived lukewarm, a disappointment (i really expect better). i noticed that the bathrobes provided in the room were quite small. They barely fit, made them not very practical after a shower.
