Since my last visit this hotel has declined sadly. The staff are as ever lovely and friendly but the service so slow. It took 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive in the central sitting area. The breakfast service was appalling as now the barriers stop people serving themselves so large queues build up, people close together so ironically this increases the transfer of infection rather than minimise it. It took so long to get food . Sad to see a hotel living on its past glories
