10/10

The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well accommodated. They even carried out (incredibly heavy!!) suitcases upstairs for us. The food was incredible and there was so much variety. The only issue was the shower in our room which didn’t have temperature control and the screen was a bit broken. This wasn’t an issue for us as we were only there one night and the standalone bath was beautiful!! The rooms need a little updating but the space is incredible and the rooms were always clean.

8/10

We stayed for one night and although our room was fine it hadn’t been dusted properly and the water pressure in the shower was non existent. Had lunch when we arrived and it wasn’t great. We were told it was lentil soup when it was clearly more like a very thick pea soup.
