superb gardenssmall roomslow breakfast service

the gardens were superb, that i must acknowledge.

The room was smaller than anticipated. I found this quite unsatisfactory, given the price point. the noise level was unacceptable. It seemed little consideration was given to soundproofing. furthermore, the breakfast service proved slow, with a significant delay before the order arrived.
