Perfect - didn't want to leave.
Pros:

Our room was exceptional and super clean and comfortable.
The staff were all lovely, friendly and helpful.
Food was good, home cooking.We have no negative

Cons:

We have no negative comments.
Our stay was lovely and we couldn't fault the room, which I understand is one of the best in the hotel. Having a separate living room was a real added bonus.
