Pros:

My only complaint wld be the mattress on the bed in the Garden Room, they were very soft and worn. This isn’t a complaint though it’s just my opinion.

Lovely location, beautiful area, nice staff, expensive for what it was, food needs a re think
Pros:

Central location

Cons:

Certain smell, not to my liking
Good choice for breakfast but everything seemed to be cooked on a griddle, which meant everything tasted charred and thus lost its flavour
