the breakfast was fantastic. the staff were lovely and very accommodating to my needs. good parking arrangements exists too. i really enjoyed those aspects.
the paintings generally needed refreshing as they were dirty and stained. the windows in rooms weren't sealed well against noise. i noted the lack of cleanliness with cobwebs and stained carpets.

The location was great, and the food served was nice.
Room 16 was small. There was no wardrobe. The hot water was inconsistent, and I had to run the tap for a while. It only produced lukewarm water.
