We were upgraded on our arrival which was lovely, the suite was spotless and beautifully decorated. The breakfast was fantastic although our first morning we weren't told where the buffet section was and was seated so we couldn't see it. We did work it out for ourselves though. The second morning the waitress explained the breakfast system. The staff were all very helpful and friendly with nothing being too much trouble. It was a pleasure to stay in such a lovely environment
