The sunshine was beautiful . I sat by the window in the tea room and enjoyed it. The hand-painted wallpaper is very elegant. It was nice to see a real fire in the large marble fireplace. The scones, sandwiches, and cakes were excellent. I appreciated that the waiter offered a takeaway box for the items I couldn't finish (that was really thoughtful).
The cot provided in the room had a rip in the netting. I needed it to be in perfect condition for my baby. The side portions of vegetables and chips were quite small, given the price. A soft drink I ordered with room service never arrived (small inconveniences).
