Satisfactory stay.

tea facilitiescomfy bedold towelstired decor
The room offered tea and coffee facilities. The bed was comfy, a welcomed treat after long walks. The staff helped with suggestions for walks. They knew the surrounding area well.
The room needed dusting. It was not clean. The decor looked a little tired. I think it needs updating. The towels provided were old. Also they were too small.
