amazing stay!

smooth teamworkexcellent servicefree car park
The staff worked together smoothly and provided excellent service! i observed the team's efficiency during two funeral parties, a christmas lunch, and regular visitors. They handled everything. they offered superb service to everyone. That includes large dinner parties or just coffee and cake. the large free car park was super useful.
The shower was a bit small, and the doors did not close properly. Water got everywhere.

efficient staffwall marksstuffy room
The staff were cute and efficient (always a plus).
The room felt a bit dated. I noticed marks on the walls. More frustrating, the sash windows had been painted shut. The room felt stuffy, and I couldn't open a window for fresh air.
