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.

Disliked: Room comfort

Not as tranquil as advertised but nice & welcoming

The room was more basic than usual with laminate floors throughout but clean with good shower facilities no TV but plenty of tea and coffee in the room Nice grounds and comfortable facilities in common areas but not as relaxing as hoped as noisy clatter of trolleys in the morning
