All the staff were extremely helpgul. The room, which was large with a sitting area, was kept spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. Although breakfast time was busy, the staff were very efficient in seating us quickly and bringing a pot of tea. The hot buffet was kept topped up so we didn't have to wait for our food and we were not rushed to finish.It was a very civilised start to the day each morning. The only thing we felt could be improved would be a shower with a shower tray rather than over the bath. However, this is only a personal preference.

In general stay was ok. However on last night the bar food was poor and far from the standard of the previous night. I did complain but was disappointed with the response which lacked empathy and a lack of appreciation of us as paying customers. Not likely to be rushing back.
