additional charge service charge
The room was pleasant and had a good selection of tea and coffee. The minibar was well stocked.
The additional service charge on all costs was a joke to me. After seeing this charge, I felt insulted. I think the room rate should be the room rate and include all fees. I was not thrilled because of this one small fact.

serene escape
seamless process lovely surprise delicious food cute people
i appreciated the seamless check-in process i immediately felt welcome the hotel upgraded our twin room to a junior suite including a hot tub which was a lovely surprise the atmosphere was friendly it felt more like staying with cute people in a beautiful home. we had dinner at the spice restaurant and the food was delicious the breakfast offered locally sourced salmon with scrambled eggs which my daughter declared the best she had eaten this year. the posh rarebit and poached eggs were equally delicious.
the turn down service arrived late at 8.45pm on our last evening i eventually went downstairs to get water and milk as it wasn't replenished.

private garden hot tub fast service
the room felt grand. the hot tub in my private garden was a highlight, and i used it every day. the breakfast was cooked to order, and the service was fast!
The controls in the room were slightly complicated at first. It took a little while to figure everything out, though.
