The room was spacious, and it included a very comfortable bed. The food and drink options were great, and I especially enjoyed the local ales. The staff was helpful. They assisted me with directions to nearby attractions.
My room was located near the entrance, so it was a bit noisy at times. The wifi signal was WEAK in my room though it worked well in the lobby. I also noticed that some of the furniture looked worn.

mixed feelings about my stay

faulty heatingnon-functional tv
the room they gave me was not great. the promised underfloor heating never actually worked. i had to use a tiny space heater to get the room temp to a somewhat acceptable level. also, the tv didn't work, and they just had a satellite dish sitting outside. it, honestly.
