the stay was great it was quiet and relaxing and even in the morning in tue busy breakfast bar it still felt relaxing as there was no echo in the dining room only thing that is stopping me from giving the rating a 5 star is there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom, no complimentary biscuits with the coffee and the bathroom mirror hadn't been cleaned properly which i wojldnt have noticed had there been an exhaust fan in the bathroom
