A reasonable stay

equipped gymreally good breakfastmissing toiletriesengaged line
The hotel had a great gym. It offered ample space and a good range of equipment. The breakfast was fantastic (especially the cooked options!) and the dining area was very pleasant.
My room lacked shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Contacting reception from the room was difficult, the line was always engaged. I think they need to check the communication lines.

I thought the breakfast was well presented. Hot food was available. I appreciated the large selection of items to choose from. The grounds were beautiful, I liked the setting.
I found the reception to be often unmanned! The room seemed rather scruffy, I observed screws on the windows. These screws held them shut. I had to ask for a screwdriver to open the window
