Underwhelming Stay. Some Issues

faulty television inconsistent shower
The breakfast tasted freshly cooked.
The shower temperature changed rapidly between scalding hot and freezing cold. I also found that the television did not work properly. I struggled with the remote. The room was supposedly the most used room. I suspect this caused some wear and tear.

perfectly formed!

amazing welcome comfortable bed super clean room
i had such an amazing welcome and nothing was like too much trouble. i stayed in the single room and found it furnished to a very high standard. the bed was comfortable and the room was spotlessly clean. i really enjoyed the little extras like a glass of scotch left each day to wind down with at night.
the single room wasn't particularly big, but it had everything i needed.
