We thoroughly enjoyed our stay though food was quite expensive.
Pros:

The food overall was very good. The room was perfect.

Cons:

We felt the menu would have benefitted from some choices that suited older people, for example options that included mash potato. The lingoustine that we ordered did not appear to be lingoustine and we expected it to be in a tempura batter however it seemed to be a type of scampi in hard ruskoline. This was disappointing.
