This is a Christian retreat charging hotel prices. Rooms are comfortable but sparse (No wallpaper, no TV) and could do with redecorating.

Room was small but comfortable, but very noisy road outside with noise throughout the night. En-suite could do with a refurb. Good breakfast and lovely communal areas.
