Great value champagne breakfast. High standard of food and presentation. Hot drinks are only served at the end of the- it’s a shame that you are not asked if you prefer the hot refreshments earlier on in the breakfast. Beautiful surroundings and decor. Slightly lacks a warm and welcoming reception and if we were celebrating anything in particular etc as never asked. Overall a lovely place to celebrate for a special occasion.
