Excellent Stay

The staff members were efficient and friendly (very helpful). My room overlooked the surrounding countryside. I found the room to be pretty. The food I ate was excellent. My room was newly renovated. It featured beautiful decor. The room and bed were massive. There was a nice selection of teas and coffee. The hotel and rooms were decorated nicely. The gardens were well maintained. Plenty of teas, coffees and milk were available in my room. I found the staff accommodating. They let us eat an hour earlier than booked. Breakfast was ready at 8 am, so we didn't rush. The room had what we needed.
My room was quite small.
