the room was clean and spacious. the fan helped a lot during the hot weather. i found the tea sachets and bathroom amenities to be a nice touch, i appreciated them. breakfast was a traditional english breakfast.
i noticed a shortage of towels in the room. parking space was limited. the dinner on friday felt lacking in atmosphere, i found it a bit disappointing.

a river runs through it
cool shade china tea perfect service
I savored afternoon tea with my mother on the terrace. the cool shade was a welcome escape from the 29-degree heat. sandwiches and dainty cakes accompanied a delicate china tea service. Each bite was divine. tia nicole and her colleagues provided perfect service, especially to my mother in her wheelchair.
the accessible bathroom, though spacious, featured a tiny sink. its lack of a plug complicated simple tasks like washing hands. a larger sink would greatly improve accessibility for those who prefer not to shower.
