The buffet breakfast is always great and so tasty. The beds are beautiful and soft but are still supportive at the same time, always have the best night's sleep here. Given that it's winter I would have loved if there was an additional blanket in the cupboard as if you ask for one you may get given a sheet instead but other than that I can't wait to return.
