low water pressurecrowded buffet
i did encounter a couple of issues. the shower in my room had very low pressure and it took an excessively long time to get hot. additionally, the breakfast buffet was often crowded, and some items ran out quickly, it resulted in waits and limited choices.

The breakfast room features elegant stiff white tablecloths. This added a formal touch i adored. the vitality pool at the spa was wonderful. Its jacuzzi offered a perfect 38c temperature.
the hotel charged an extra £4 for my dogs with no clear explanation. the billing felt slightly unclear and unexpected.
