The room was lovely - comfortable, lots of space, great balcony. The staff were all young and friendly. The food was excellent and the breakfast buffet was superb. The dining areas window ledges were a little grubby (I wasn’t comfortable putting my handbag beside me on the floor) The main dining room lacked ambience and had a bit of a pub feel. No carpet so quite noisy. A pity because it took away from the delicious food.
