a frustrating stay

old pillowscracked window
the room was certainly not what i expected for the price. the pillows were old and substandard. the bedsheets also felt quite cheap. i found a crack in the window, and it seemed like it would not fully close. i showed these issues to the reception, but i am unsure if anything will be done.

The Library Suite was unique with an original and quirky design I found very charming. The suite included a massive jacuzzi bath and a double shower I thoroughly enjoyed.
The limited buffet selection at breakfast was somewhat crowded. It made accessing the items a little difficult.

the staff was very friendly! the atmosphere was warm, i enjoyed the log fires. the menu selection had a good variety and there was an extensive drinks choice.
The mac and cheese looked over-fired on top. The macaroni itself was rather tasteless! it had barely any sauce under all that hard-fired cheese. it was like eating boiled pasta with no flavour. i ordered an apple juice. They only serve apple juice in pints. that seems a bizarre situation.
