Staff very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean with all amenities required. Breakfast was very good, but my eggs were a bit undercooked. I did mention this to the staff. The breakfast room needs to be warm, i had to request one of the fires to be put on as the room was extremely cold. Overall a very pleasant stay and evening meal we had was excellent.
