Cathy, Jul 2023
Wonderful location. Disappointing 5 star experience. Lack of bathroom products - shower wash had also to be used for hand washing. No face cloths, no body lotion, no laundry bag. Breakfast service poor. Staff at sixes & sevens. Very poor quality fruit & the cheapest of marmalade & jam.
