double showerjacuzzi bath
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.

attentive staffwarm atmosphereextensive drinkstasteless macaroniover-fired cheeselimited juice
the staff was very attentive! 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.
