The staff and atmosphere they created: Traditional, accommodating, courteous, and friendly to everyone. The food service (half-board) was excellent and the serving staff was helpful and never judgmental. I can not speak highly enough about my experience here. The private bath was a delight, even in the chilled air atmosphere.
