a few issues
clean roomtidy roombody hairbroken toaster
the room was clean and tidy, which i appreciated.
I found body hair attached to the complimentary mini soap under the label. It was a very unpleasant surprise. breakfast was also disappointing. The continental selection lacked cold meats and cheeses, and the toaster wasn't working properly.

I totally enjoyed my stay! the food was very nice. I think the chefs are some kind of culinary geniuses! my husband tried the parsnip soup and sea bass and i had the ham hock and lamb rump, every dish was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. the waitress was so friendly, and it really did exceed all my expectations!
The hotel needs a good clean. Everything is stained, from the carpet to the sofas, it looks very disgusting.
