The bathroom was a nice size with a good, POWERFUL shower. The provided toiletries were a lovely touch. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is excellent. It is easy to find.
The stairs were very creaky. The room was a bit shabby. The bedside cabinet prevented access to the wardrobe. A ventilator cover was loose.
