well-cooked breakfasthelpful staffservice lackinappropriate food

the breakfast selection was good and well-cooked. the bar staff, especially evan, proved helpful . decor throughout looks lovely. it is good to see it restored.

I found a lack of service at times, especially concerning tea and coffee. the children's afternoon tea was lacking. The children had to eat what was already served, yet some food was inappropriate for them.
