“I was given a substantial discount because of shower problems during my last visit a year ago.This time we had a great room which was on the ground floor and a FAB shower. Comfy bed and quiet.It really made up for our last stay.The tv didnt work on the first night but was promptly fixed next morning But what spoiled the this stay was the evening meal.I had to send it back and ended up not eating because the resturant service was really slow and by the time I got someones attention my husband had nearly finished his meal.The restaurant staff (.of one?)seemed stressed and keeping her eye on reception while manning the busy dining room.The last thing she needed was my complaint.But we werent charged for our meals so fair enough But its such a shame that the food let down the experience at this lovely hotel”
