Pros:

Brilliant hotel and stay, thank you!

Cons:

I think they may have forgotten about ny food order... I knew it would be a while so waited patiently but in the end had to ask as it had nearly been a whole episode of celebrity potters throw down and I still didn't have it.... I asked and she sorted it out. Lovely. 😊
