the breakfast was good and served fast.
the dinner was a failure. i waited for over an hour, and only one server was present. this affected the quality of the service substantially, and the food was not worth the extended wait.

A mixed experience

The hotel title is misleading. It implies a country house, it is not. The absence of a lift is a real issue, a PROBLEM I faced due to mobility issues. The room lacked a proper wardrobe. It only had a few hangers on a piece of wood. This was FRUSTRATING, as there was hardly enough room to hang clothes properly.
