Be prepared to walk a lot!
Pros:

Comfortable bed and excellent shower

Cons:

The distance we had to walk to our room (we were expecting to be in the mail building, not miles away in the modern extension).
The acoustics in the breakfast room were awful, and to get a drink with our breakfast we had to walk in the opposite direction to where the food was served, and into the neighbouring bar.

Highly enjoyable, excellent staff but group dinner which was average
Pros:

All the staff were very focused on ensuring all our needs were met. Polite friendly and went the extra mile. Facilities were excellent and we loved the Tepee tent for our meal setting.

Cons:

We had a large group which may have contributed to the average food served at dinner. Breakfast was fine.

It was ok
Pros:

Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Room was average, looked like it needed a makeover. The shower was poor and took a LONG time to warm up. It would have been nice to know that the room had been set up for the disabled.
