We reqlly enjoyed our stay. We had stayed previously so knew what to expect. Overall everything was to a very good standard. We were told on arrival there was a shortage of staff and that was evident on our first morning as breakfast felt chaotic and things werent being replaced promptly as they ran out ie plates, cups, juice, food on continental table. Very low on gluten free. Second morning was back to usual standards when it felt much more irganised and staff didnt appear flustered. We would go back again for sure.
