i found the room size quite generous. the welcome cookies were a really nice touch, as was the fresh coffee and cafetiere. the staff demonstrated consistent friendliness throughout my stay.
the room seemed a bit dated. i also noticed the bar got quite cold after the fire was not stocked. drinks were a little expensive.
