This was our 6th stay at Grinkle. Sadly, a few small things have changed, not for the better. Our room was lovely, great views, lovely bed and biscuits ...as usual. Sadly the new 'all in one soap' was not appreciated, no body lotion,or the lack of a face flannel.... The evening meal food was nothing special, and the waiting on staff, win first prize in speed! I hadn't finished either course and the plate was whipped away, I had not finished my last mouthful. The breakfast was wonderful and set at a good pace. Excellent range of foods. The receptionist was good, but didn't ask on our checkout, how was it? Due to Grinkles setting and location, we will be back, but my expectations will be lower than previous visits.
