wow! a fantastic experience!
quality teafriendly staffcompact bathroom
i stayed in a superior double room and it was great! the room had high-quality tea, coffee, and biscuits. the staff were all lovely!!! the food was AMAZING!!!
the room needs some tlc. the bathroom felt too compact, and it seemed quite dated for the price i paid. overall, i think the bathroom needs an update, especially the shower.
