Fantastic Stay with Wonderful Service!

helpful serverquick serviceenjoyable dining
The server provided great suggestions that suited my mother-in-law perfectly, considering her dietary needs! We did not wait long, and the food tasted great, especially the mac 'n' cheese. Anna and Fiona were lovely and helpful. They ensured we had a very smooth and enjoyable dining experience.
The heating in the room seemed to not work correctly. Therefore, the room was too cold.

the room was LARGE and very light. The bed was very comfortable. Included breakfast was a plus, with good quality food. Fiona, who served us, was very friendly and accommodating.
the wifi was HORRENDOUS. Each time I asked reception to fix it, they said many people were on it, therefore it was slow. That is unacceptable nowadays.
