attentive staff cooked breakfast working waterwheel noisy room limited channels sky channels
i stayed in a beautiful double room. the staff were great. breakfast was freshly cooked, and i enjoyed the eggs benedict. the waterwheel outside was a nice sight.
the room was a little noisy because of the bar underneath. i expected more tv channels in the room. the tv should have sky channels available, like the bar.
