We had a lovely relaxing one night stay, the room was well equipped, quiet, the bed comfortable and we had a really nice evening meal and breakfast, good menu choices for both too; my partner has complex allergies and the waiting staff were very respectful of the potential risks there, including remembering them at breakfast the next morning (same waitress) A++
