Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room, parking and the size was excellent. Needed more attention to cleanliness - some mild in shower; dust on bathroom heating system; hand cleanser and body wash very watery? Food was very good; reception and staff very nice Wine list had gaps - our first few picks were all unavailable (they said a wedding cleaned them out!) We were not here for golf but I would stay again and play golf next time.
