a tender escape!

cozy room overhead shower attentive staff

We arrived quite early. They let us check in straightaway! the room, named 'the brighton room', was so cosy. it had a comfy bed and a modern bathroom including a lovely overhead shower. the staff were attentive, always offering help and suggesting places to visit. it was like home.

the walls seemed thin, and i could hear conversations from the adjacent room, a bit disruptive at times.

thin duvet refused blanket

The room looked decent initially. I heard other guests talking at a normal level in the room next to mine. That was annoying. I asked for a blanket, as the duvet was VERY thin. The staff refused to give me one, and that soured my experience.

missing toiletries mold

the breakfast choice was lovely with lots of options.

i found a couple of issues . firstly, the promised toiletries were not fully stocked upon arrival. i also noticed the bathroom lacked proper ventilation and some mold was present around the shower area. this was quite disappointing.

Satisfactory Stay

garden view comfortable room fresh ingredients thin walls small portion waitress attitude

My room had a garden view. The room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast included freshly sourced ingredients.

I could hear people talking next door at a normal volume. My Prosecco glass was only half filled. It should have been a 175ml portion. The waitress had an attitude when we mentioned the inadequate measures.

The room included a rainforest shower. It felt so tender. there was also a mini-bar and biscuits. ample parking was available. The parking was very idealistic!
