the room was not ready when we arrived we waited over 1 hour so i checked again still not ready so i asked if they had another ready and available and she was able to give us a different room similar but not what we expected but we made the best of it I think they were a little short staffed for the winter months since they gave us the room so late i asked if we could just check out a little later she said no so i insisted that we should get some compensation and after speaking to her manager they gave us 10% off the first night and i agreed the restaurant and the grounds are always lovely and you cant complain about that
