warm welcomebeautiful roomconstant noisedrilling noise

The Baytree room was beautiful. The staff provided a warm welcome at reception, especially Jodie. Charlotte showed us to our room. It was a really nice gesture.

The noise was constant from arrival to departure. Drilling was happening directly beneath our room. I was not informed of this beforehand. I think they should have put us in a room on the opposite side of the hotel.

mixed feelings about this visit

nice breakfast selectionterrible restaurant serviceforgotten main course

the breakfast buffet had a nice selection.

the service in the main restaurant needs serious improvement. once seated, the staff seemed to forget about me, and i had to chase them for everything. they completely forgot one person's main course (which is unacceptable), it arrived only after everyone else finished. i had to constantly ask them to order drinks, puddings, and coffee (it was very irritating).
