The staff was very friendly and helpful at reception and in the bar area. Dinner and breakfast food was excellent. I find the breakfast omelette lovely. I appreciate the dessert plate in our room upon arrival for our anniversary.
The room heating did not work. It was very cold. I feel they could have done more to accommodate me about that.
