6/10 Good

Very disappointing with our room. It was in the annex, at the end of a dark corridor, window overlooking the car park and a brick wall. Lovely white towels, but very small shower. Bathroom floor was dirty, dust on all skirting boards, toilet brush dirty on the top. Their cleaners need to give it a jolly good clean. Room smelt of drains, told reception on leaving.

Breakfast was superb, but lots of steps in the dining area.

Excellent location. Room was basic. Short spans of stairs from entrance and to rooms was a bit difficult as we were traveling with large luggage. Lovely garden area.
