excellent standard helpful staff well equipped poor information incorrect description part of bedroom
The grounds are LOVELY to walk around. The hotel was really well equipped, I found. Super nice team and answered all questions very promptly. The hotel was furnished to an excellent standard.
The arrivals information did not arrive in good time I think. I was left with no idea of the procedure. I had to telephone for instructions. The accommodation was not described correctly because a living room was listed. This living room was in fact part of the bedroom.

stylish space quality fitting outdoor chair soft bedlinen
the two-bedroom bungalow offered a stylish space. It had good quality fittings and furnishings, appreciated. the location overlooking the river included decking and comfy outdoor chairs. I found the beds large and comfortable. i slept soundly in the soft bedlinen.
