Balanced stay overall

comfortable bedswonderful bathroompancake stationlong waituntoasted breadinsufficient glasses
the bedroom included comfortable beds and a wonderful bathroom. the bathrobes were a very nice touch. breakfast had an amazing pancake station and loads of variety. the staff were polite and always had a smile for all from reception staff to cleaning staff.
i went to the terrace bar for a sandwich and waited for aprox 20 mins before anyone took our order. the toasted sandwiches came out only toasted on one side of the bread. they brought 3 glasses even though there was 7 of us eating.
