8/10 Good
"Have stayed here regularly. Never had a bad experience but have noticed fewer staff on duty to the detriment of guests and existing staff. Breakfast is now totally self-service but this doesn’t work for all guests, namely physically challenged people. Trying to carry hot coffee, juice, cereal, breads/toast etc and having to make your way through the queue, trying to enter the dining room, to reach your table is not an easy task. Last year we had to make our own toast. This year we had to get our own coffee. Next year do we fry our own hot breakfast? Lol. Btw mushrooms were disgusting - sliced so thinly they were hard. Cutbacks I suppose. Pleasant bar staff save the day. Helpful and friendly. Evening meals were superb. Bedroom carpet needs checking for stains. Room spotless otherwise. Had a lovely stay. Met lovely people. Sat outside loads in lovely seating area."

"Pretty nice property! Staff were great! There room was nice and clean but lacking conditioner, wash towels, and didn’t have AC for interior rooms so you’ll have to either request a fan or open windows. Wasn’t a problem for us but some travelers may want to know. Overall great stay!"
