The gym has cardio equipment and weights. Breakfast at The Gravel Pit was VERY good. The setting was clean. I appreciate that.
The hot food buffet is in a narrow area. This makes access difficult.

basic stay with issues

expensive bedroom no air conditioning
the bed offered a comfortable sleep experience it was welcome after a long day.
the bedroom proved quite expensive given its size it lacked air conditioning a standard amenity i now consider essential. the absence of a phone further complicated matters as i was unable to easily contact reception when i needed assistance. i found this unacceptable for the price charged.

friendly service good food helpful team noisy area broken window early departure
The brasserie restaurant impressed me. The food tasted great. drinks were good too. Friendly service made it even better. i also found the y spa excellent, it was just what i needed. the team there was very helpful, i appreciated their support.
i was offered an upgrade to a room, but the window wouldn't close properly. it was above the bin area, so it could have been noisy. a helpful person taped the window as best as possible, but maintenance had already left for the day.
