quiet spa excellent food small room coffee facilities

the spa was lovely and quiet. the food was excellent, especially the breakfast buffet with its great continental selection and menu.

The room was smaller than i expected. i also found the tea and coffee facilities could have been better. There was only one sachet of coffee in the room upon arrival, though this was later rectified after i asked.
