I was disappointed with my stay. There are no fridges in the room. The bathroom smelled like a blocked sewerage, in fact you could smell it when you entered the building. The parking is a nightmare because they try and fit about 12 cars into a tiny space. I was late for an appointment one morning because I was parked in. The staff is amazing but they are overwhelmed and overworked due to the establishment being understaffed. The front of house is also the one who prepares breakfast, help with laundry, help with parking arrangements and even attending the bar as there is no dedicated bar person. No one offered to help carry my luggage, which is understandable because the staff is just too busy. It was pouring down with rain one morning and I had to load my luggage on my own. The coffee in the rooms are awful tiny packets of chicory. Surely they can afford to put decent coffee in the rooms? For the price of the breakfast one would expect a decent meal but the bread is the cheap Sasko white bread and small packets of margarine, not butter. The "fruit salad" is basically a quarter apple and a quarter orange. On my last morning a staff member came to ask if we would like some juice with our meal. The previous mornings, no one mentioned anything about juice being included with the meal. Again, not the fault of the staff, they don't have capacity to be everywhere at the same time.
The tap-system in the bathroom is such a strange setup - there literally one shut-off valve lever that acts as a tap for both the sink and the shower.
You don't have access to the dining room outside of breakfast times which is annoying because I didn't want to have dinner in my room, besides there are no plates or cutlery in the room to do so. You have to ask someone to help you with heating food etc as guests are not allowed to be in the kitchen unattended.
It's all very disappointing and I will most certainly not be recommending this place at any stage.
Thanks to the staff for trying their best.
