Acceptable Stay, Notable Service Concerns
worn towels hostile tone
The hotel had a lovely feel upon entering.
I encountered some issues with service . A staff member displayed a sharp and hostile tone (.. ) perhaps due to me not being a local. I also found the towels rather worn.

adequate stay, some letdowns
worn towels old fashioned bathroom
the car park was large. it felt secure.
i found the towels rather worn. the bathroom seemed quite old fashioned. the employee named lisa was sharp with us, so i am unsure if this is because we are not local. the attitude was terrible.

excellent service and beautiful baskets
best breakfast superb baskets friendly staff
i appreciated the best breakfast i have had during my week of traveling. the baskets around the hotel were superb adding to the atmosphere. i also found the staff at the evening meal to be excellent they were very friendly and helpful with all our requests.
i noticed that the towels provided in the room were rather worn. the bathroom also was somewhat old fashioned in its design i think some updates would improve the overall experience.
