We appreciated the friendly welcome we received upon arrival, it really set a positive tone for our visit. the bed proved very comfortable. Its firmness was just right for a restful sleep. we found a kettle in our room along with complimentary tea and coffee, a thoughtful touch. also our dining experience in the restaurant impressed us. The restaurant décor was pleasing.
The toilet seat in our room felt a bit wobbly. It wasn't fitted quite right.
