The room was spacious.. it featured air conditioning, very useful during the warm day. the front view of the canal and town was lovely. i found the room very clean. the food was also a highlight. I enjoyed the chicken maryland and chips, a lovely meal.
the granary bar staff seemed inexperienced with spirits, though they were trying their best.
