reasonable stay with nice landscape

beautiful landscape clean room perfect portion thin walls blue light broken biscuits

the landscape was beautiful. our room was clean and comfy. the food had lovely flavors and the portion sizes were perfect..

i noticed our room walls were thin. i could hear everything in surrounding rooms. a bright blue light on the heater was right next to the bed, shining in my eyes all night. the complimentary biscuits were all broken up, a small detail, yet noticeable.

Underwhelming Experience

expensive spa limited breakfast choice

I must say, the food was a real letdown. The breakfast buffet had very little choice, barely any fruit. My cooked breakfast had watery, pale, lukewarm scrambled eggs. I think it was diluted with milk. The spa is also quite expensive, costing £30 each for 2 hours..
