This is our second stay. The first was a standard room and the second tile we upgraded. It was a mistake the room had a door shared with the next door and you could hear everything. We asked to be moved. Staff were lovely and very helpful, over all shifts. The breakfast both times we have stayed is wonderful. I love the garden area. We used the bar this time at it was a nice place to share a drink. Everything is so clean and tidy. The bed very comfortable.
