The hotel staff were mostly excellent. Not enough Bar staff during, serving was slow. Unfortunately at the end of our holiday an extremely large contingent from 2 chartered surveyors attended the hotel, Shepherd and Hardies for a conference (lauguage around the pool, in the lifts and breakfast was appalling - more for a building site rather than a lovely hotel) which spoiled our experience.
