My room was very clean and like new. I also thought breakfast was very good, though it was busy. I will definitely come back and stay again, we had a great time.
The lead for the tea maker was short, so it had to be plugged in on the floor. The heating did not work well, even when the thermostat was up. I heard a constant hissing sound from the extraction vent. There was a lot of rust buildup, so it was clogged
