I had a great stay and would have given 5* for everything apart from the selection of food for lunch and dinner for the 4 days was the same, no change in menu. The last day I ordered veggie stir fry but it had prawns in them and the soup was cold. But overall, I had a lovely stay, all staff were supportive and friendly. Oh and the roof terrace is amazing but need to extend time for usage as it closes at 8pm which is a shame as it would be beautiful at night. Thank you
