The room smelled like body odour as though the person staying there previously had smelled and the room hadn’t been aired out properly. It meant that my stay was not comfortable all pleasant and I had to just hope that I became nose blind to it.

Fresh and broad breakfast menu, though pricey and the age rating was not what I expected. Treating a 14-year-old as an adult is not family friendly.

The room was very clean and quiet considering that it was almost full. Breakfast is a little busy, but they let you know when the best time to go down is. The staff are all very helpful and the food is lovely. I'd definately stay there again.
