The room had complimentary rituals products in the bathroom. i found fresh milk and water provided in the butlers rooms. This was very convenient. the atmosphere in the bar downstairs was lively.
i found the portions served at sunday roast to be quite small. i received two thin slices of beef and two small potatoes. the small carrot and broccoli sprig felt insufficient.
