Not worth the money paid
Pros:

View, comfy beds

Cons:

Ran out of breakfast 15 mins before close and didn't care to offer anything. Breakfast was supposed to be included. Staff very unhelpful - didn't offer to provide any food, help. Had to ask 3 times for tea/coffee. When the manager was asked he was on his mobile and didn't even look up from his phone to converse when asked about the coffee. Very poor service.
Manager and chef were arguing with each other in reception in front of customers.
Grounds were untidy and in disrepair.
