a treasured stay

great friendlinessquiet roomaccommodating teamthoughtful suggestion
The staff showed great friendliness! all the team were accommodating. after a stressful day, the chef suggested a beach walk about 20 minutes away, though i lacked the energy that day. It was very thoughtful. the room was quiet, which i appreciated.
i noticed a slight delay in the initial drinks service. our order was eventually taken, though it took a few requests.

Satisfactory Stay

spacious roomreasonable pricevoice messagequick billing
The room was spacious. The bed was superking size. It was comfortable. The shower room was a proper size. I really liked the meals. Their price was reasonable and the beers and cider also.
I left a voice message for a reservation. A chap called me back. He took the details. I think we needed to pay and depart after receiving the bill without ordering dessert. It felt a bit rushed.
