mixed feelings about this stay

acceptable foodpitiful shower pressurestifling hot room

the food was acceptable.

I found the cottage room stifling hot, even with the dyson fan. the shower pressure was pitiful. You couldn't turn the taps on without getting wet, and the shower screen banged the sink. it seemed like basic improvements that air bnbs offer weren't there, unfortunately.

superb stay!

lovely gardens

The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful. I really felt welcomed. the eyas restaurant was amazing. Every meal there became a highlight of my stay. i also liked the lovely gardens. I was able to sit outside.

The service charge on the bill was unexpected when ordering drinks at the bar. It seems quite underhand, though the service was good overall.

clean roomunderfloor heatingfast wificlosed restaurantbroken chargerhigh price

my room was very clean upon arrival. i really liked the underfloor heating in the bathroom. the wifi connection was secure and fast. this made it easy to do some work emails.

this meant there was no breakfast or evening meal available on site. the ev charger did not work, so i had to find another charging location. i felt the price was too high for just a room.
