The room was lovely AND the bed felt very comfortable. Special touches, like complimentary chocolate, provided a nice treat. The evening meal in the restaurant tasted great and had reasonable prices.

The toilet paper near the toilet brush looked dirty. Liquid soap was missing from the dispenser. These issues impacted my overall experience. NO towels were available in the room.

The bathroom was not ideal. i found no liquid soap in the dispenser and the bathroom door didn't easily shut. it was difficult to open from the inside without extra effort. also, breakfast was disappointing. The white sliced toast was pale and not toasted well. it came with just two sausages, tomato, and beans. the staff seemed dismissive when i mentioned the issues, stating that the lack of towels was just my opinion, i did not find this very cute.
