Really good Dining and Comfort

bathroom products lovely staff
The room was beautifully decorated and had Pure Lakes bathroom products (a nice touch!). Breakfast was fantastic with lovely staff making me feel at home. The suggestion of wines to accompany my meal was excellent and the knowledge of the staff impressed me.
The room I stayed in was very small and cramped (the layout felt awkward). The wall lighting was too bright. It was impossible to create low lighting in the room.
Service
10/10
The staff was very friendly and accommodating, quickly assisting with any needs I had. I received a warm and friendly welcome upon arrival and was promptly shown to my bedroom. Staff were great too ensure my comfort.
