the room was clean and spacious.
the dinner service was a HUGE disappointment, especially given the prices. i paid what I considered to be an exorbitant amount, and the quality just wasn't there. also, my room didn't have a desk, that was a real pain.

The hotel gardens provided delight with great views. i found the inside of the hotel beautiful. No attention to detail seemed spared. our room was comfortable. the staff were cute and very keen to.
supper cost £160 (2 g&ts, 2 large glasses of wine and 2 starters and main courses), but it wasn't worth it, in my opinion.
