amazing experience!

excellent standards comfortable bed lovely staff

the location is fantastic! i enjoyed the excellent standards with the bang & olufsen tv and dyson hair dryer. the bvlgari toiletries were a lovely touch! the bed was also very comfortable with posh mattress and beddings.

the limited vegan options, while good, reminded me of a missed opportunity for more variety.
