Sorry but not worthy of the money. Tired and worn out. Old fashioned & out of touch.

Had a lovely afternoon tea with friends.Sat outside on the patio. Staff were friendly and helpful. We were surprised there was no soap of any kind in the ladies.We noticed that several tables were reused without being sanitised and wiped down.
