Morning all. A surprising 5.1, so close. According to the LIbre graph I was hypo from 1-2am and 3.30-4am. I’m imaging it was compression, this hotel bed is far too soft for me I was swallowed up in it!
The hotel, as I suspected, has “gone down” somewhat from when it was family run. Gone are the starched white tablecloths and napkins in the opulent dining room. Just a table now, not even very nice, like a cafe. Gone is the bread trolley trundled over to your table with, still warm, delicious homemade breads cut to order. It’s trying to go all contemporary I think which isn’t easy in a very old country hotel. The service is pretty dire, staff shortages apparently according to a letter in our room. The food was as good as ever thank goodness but the cost of the wine is unbelievable. Mr Eggy’s 250 ml of Merlot was £15.50! My Sauvignon Blanc, 175 kms was £11,50 and it wasn’t cold enough and I didn’t like the glass, it was all thick and dumpy. I like a large fine glass. We’ve been coming here for 15 years, about once a year on average, we kept returning because of the fantastic service and amazing food. The pool is still as good and although the staff are doing their best it’s not the same. I did wonder why it was much cheaper than last time. Breakfast will be a true test, it was famous for its fantastic breakfasts. If it’s a buffet I’m going home!
I sound like a right snob don’t I?
Have a great day, a bit cloudy here but I’m fine with that.
And relax.
