Everything superb again, albeit the breakfast was a little well done for my liking. I also think the bar food prices are a little pricey, but the quality of food was good.

Fantastic service, food and drink. Room was fabulous and well resourced. My only very slight issue was that breakfast did not start until 8am, in saying that the continental breakfast the night before for us was excellent.
