    Very enjoyable. Lovely place and would stay again

    Liked: Excellent breakfast, with super choice and friendly staff. Lovely bathroom. Good quantities of tea, coffee etc in room. It needed a little tray, or saucers though, to put dirty spoons on. (Also more than one spoon.) Super clean.

    Disliked: Would have been nice to have someone at Reception at some point, to welcome, advise or thank us for stay at the end.
