8/10 Good
"The check in and welcome was lovely and personal. Our room was huge, spotless and the bed was really comfortable. Well stocked with good quality coffee bags and tea and the toiletries smelt amazing. The shower was big, powerful and immaculate. Good breakfast buffet with artisan bread and fresh pastries and the staff were polite and cheerful. We would definitely like to stay here again."
