I was disappointed with my room. The shower temperature was very difficult to control. It was virtually impossible to get it right. the room faced the road, so traffic noise was an issue at night. It made it hard to sleep!!!

friendly staff helpful recommendations outdoor area cold room broken radiators electric radiator noise
The staff was friendly. They offered helpful recommendations regarding both dining options and local attractions. The outdoor area looked lovely. I was glad the weather allowed seating in the sunshine.
The room was quite cold. The radiators did not work properly. A small electric radiator had to run all night to make the room bearable. I found it difficult to sleep due to the cold and the fan heater's noise.
