The hotel is very well equipped and the staff were courteous and helpful. My personal criticism is the rooms are poorly soundproofed and having the Gym on the top floor is not the best option. I could hear every dropped dumbbell. Such a shame as the location is great.

The amenities included were excellent and in super working order. The only thing I would say is that I was a bit surprised that there weren't more amenities. For example, there's no kettle in the room, kitchenette, or fridge. Despite this, the grounds are excellent, the rooms are comfortable, and the stay was superb.
