draft tonic unappetizing curry
The staff were very courteous. The food in the restaurant was excellent.
The gin and tonic was served in a goblet, FULL of ice, and I was told they couldn't adjust the tonic amount because it was draft. The Thai red curry I ordered lacked sauce and had a strange mix of vegetables, including carrot chunks (I found this VERY unappetizing).

Really good stay with caring staff

comfortable rooms caring staff comprehensive menu
The rooms are supremely comfortable and very well appointed. The service from the staff was caring and attentive to our needs. The menu had changed recently and offered a reduced choice, however it was still comprehensive and very well prepared. I appreciated the dog-friendly atmosphere throughout the hotel.
My only very minor concern was the wine list, the cheapest bottle was quite expensive.
