The staff was super friendly and helpful. the breakfast was amazing!!! i had eggs benedict and the portion size was nice. The ham was really good quality. i also liked that they let us park our car early so we could enjoy the day. they told us our room would be ready a bit earlier, if we wanted to come back.

the shower plug was dirty. i noticed dirt behind the taps and plug in the sink. i chose to eat in the evening but the meal greasy. it was a bit disappointing.

The room was smaller than i expected. i noticed cracked tiles in the bathroom. Green limescale clung to the tap. the carpets on the stairs were loose. I nearly slipped. the tv felt outdated. It wasn't a smart tv, what i expect these days.
