a lovely getaway

comfy bed
The Staff remained helpful and efficient always. i found no request too much for them. my room, a superior twin room, was always super clean and cute. The comfy bed provided restful nights. i especially valued the nice coffee machine in the room.
The walk into the breakfast room had a beautiful setting, but it was short-lived. The chefs' shouting and larking about in the kitchen was quite unprofessional, disrupting the atmosphere.

Decent Stay in a Central Location

central locationbreakfast selectionawkward showerweak pressure
The location was central (a big plus for exploring). Breakfast had a great selection. The staff were friendly and polite. The bar had a nice atmosphere.
The shower was a little awkward. The big waterfall shower was fitted close to the taps so I had to stand near the taps to be under it. The water pressure wasn't strong enough (which was a bit disappointing).
