The room was extremely comfortable and newly updated. The view was beautiful, the garden a joy to look at, but most of all, the staff! Oh my goodness, such warmth and friendliness I have not encountered in a long time. The breakfast was outstanding and it was fantastic during bad weather that lunch and dinner were options in the in-house restaurants.
