The only thing I would improve is more grab and go type food offerings and more reasonably priced cocktails in the bar.

Booked the Sunset Afternoon tea.On arrival sat on the terrace,although booked as a couple were sat on a table for four then another table was added on the end so were six of us squeezed in.food was brought out pre packaged in bags,was ok not fresh.Ordered two Gin and tonics,came out in cheap Tesco glass tumblers not even a gin glass.Were hurried along as coach tours of many Chinese arrived.Overall really looked forward to this and was underwhelming.Asked about Agatha Christie room or anything they could tell us,just said there’s a photo on the wall over there.
