mixed feelings about my stay

missing wardrobe unclean wet room
the staff were very friendly and helpful, so that's something.
I stayed in room 18, and honestly, it seemed like they forgot to finish it. there wasn't anywhere to hang clothes, just a hook that immediately fell off the wall. Pretty useless. the wet room looked like it hadn't been cleaned properly in ages. All the grout was black.

Fantastic Wedding Experience

magical venue food quality helpful staff
My daughter's wedding was last week. It was the most wonderful day. The venue was magical especially after dark and everyone was impressed with the food quality. The staff are the best. They shared in our excitement. Ella dealt with our requests on the morning.
The bottom sheet on the bed was too small and didn't fit properly. It was a small detail.
