The breakfast was great I loved the presentation and flavors. I also noticed they used local produce which is super awesome. The waiting staff were so lovely my daughter received a Christmas cracker at breakfast it was really cute.
The pillows were lumpy I really didn't like them. The shades on the bedside lights looked to be in bad condition too. I noticed some peeling wallpaper it looked not so good.

the staff were very friendly, i will admit it. they check you in quickly.
i must mention, the room had a distinct aroma of stale chip fat. the tv remote was missing its battery cover, sticky from someones greasy fingers. i feel the cleanliness could use a little work.
