Lovely location and room. Enjoyable
Pros:

Breakfast was nice but not as good as previous visits. Eating area was clean and nice view. Staff were friendly

Cons:

Was very sunny in eating area and was told the blinds were decoration and when one of the waitresses tried to close the curtain was told to leave it because the curtain pole will come down! Not ideal and a shame that this ruins the experience. There was an elderly lady who was blinded by the sun and had to move herself …..
