Staff were all really lovely and doing their best. Possibly lacking guidance from management. Breakfast service may be more efficient if we had one server looking after us. The food was good. Room was clean, too warm with wasp nest outside window.

Adequate for a short stay

On arrival reception confirmed that the stay had been paid however when checking out we were given a bill and told the full cost was outstanding. We did dispute this and have records to show payment but ended up having to pay again. We will now have to wait for a refund through no fault of our own. This was a system error and have to say staff were not rude or difficult. The room was fine in that it had all amenities needed but it was stifling hot, made worse by the small size. Each time we entered the room, there was also a smell of damp. We ate at the hotel and the food was delicious. The grounds were lovely.
