Very spacious. I was in room 18. A small climb up some stairs. Car parking directly outside. Very clean. Sky TV. I enjoyed my stay. Reception kindly accomodated my 1 hour late arrival after check-in closed. Neighbourhood was incredibly quiet. No heat pump. Small fan heater for early June was sufficient.
