The garden had beautiful flowers and comfortable seating. the staff provided fresh towels and toiletries daily. the room included a modern television with several channels. a complimentary bottle of water was available upon arrival. I found that a lovely touch.

central location helpful staff broad choice
The location was CENTRAL. The staff was helpful and stored our luggage after check-out. I also had dinner and the menu had broad choices, more than standard pub food.
The extractor fan noise was noticeable. it turned off before 10 pm as promised.

An Okay Stay with Some Disappointments

limited selection cold drinks
The staff was helpful and communicative throughout my visit.
I was pretty disappointed with the breakfast. There was a limited selection, with no jam or marmalade available for the toast. The hot drinks were also cold. I also noticed that the tables were spray-cleaned while I was still eating.

small fan insufficient noise proofing
the food was acceptable.
The room was very hot, and there was just a small fan. this meant trying to cool the room was difficult. Air conditioning is needed. our room was at the very front. A beer delivery at 0630, and the insufficient noise proofing of the window in the bedroom and bathroom, ruined any chance of a peaceful morning.
