lovely views romantic atmosphere expensive price needed upgrades
the location provided such lovely views over the thames. the grounds and bar contributed to the romantic atmosphere.
The breakfast buffet did not fully meet my expectations considering the price. the bedroom, though nice, did not feel excellent or particularly special. I thought it needed some upgrades.
