A very nice place with friendly staff and lovely grounds. I found the restaurant quite noisy during our meal with a lot of ice buckets being filled, but the service and meal was very pleasant. One star down the because you have a smoking area next to the main entrance to the hotel, I don't mind smokers but why right next to a door, which everyone has to walk pass. Please provide a better location for the smokers to keep dry and not to fume others with smoke.
