This hotel certainly offers top quality rooms and public spaces, has visual appesl in a country village setting. While we got a smile from reception when we entered, and cleaning staff were friendly, we found the restaurant and bar staff English language difficult to understand. They also found it difficult to understand our requests at times. The dining here is more “fine dining” style and servings quite small. The price isn’t small. Breakfast was included in our room rate but the presentation was lacking and the quality ordinary. Eggshell in the poached eggs didn’t help. The room we had was brilliant, spacious with a king bed and a coffee pod machine. We always find the deep baths in English hotels difficult to enter, slippery and not easy the shower in. A dedicated shower would be nice. The hotel has great promise but let down by average food and wait staff.
