lovely grounds buffet style breakfast helpful staff packed restaurant small room saturday wedding
The grounds were lovely. i found the pathways around the side of the hotel really nice. breakfast had plenty of choice and was buffet style. the staff were helpful. I appreciated that.
the bar and restaurant were packed. i think this was because the hotel seemingly hosts many weddings on saturdays. classic rooms were small. this overcrowding impacted the overall experience.
