the staff were cute. i was shown to my room, and it was utterly fine! it felt cosy. the room was clean. it had all amenities and some complimentary drinks and snacks. the local ingredients at breakfast were all fresh and there was a great selection across the breakfast bar.

i had a premium king room. there were no coat hooks, so it was a pain to dry our wet coats. the catch on the bathroom window was broken. i stopped the window banging during storm amy with a piece of card. only four coat hangers were available on arrival.
