The room being at the back was quiet. I actually got some sleep for once.
The shower in my room leaked all over the bathroom floor. I slipped and nearly broke my neck, not a fan.

good breakfasttorn wallpapersoft mattress
Breakfast was good , I guess.
The room was not up to par. The mattress was terribly soft , and I found no support at all. Wallpaper in the bathroom was torn in multiple places , and the towel rail was actually hanging off the wall. I complained , but the manager seemed more interested in discussing a new mattress he bought , how nice.

mixed feelings about this stay

undercooked sausagebusy cook
My stay had some hiccups. the breakfast was not good. The sausage was undercooked, and the fried egg needed more time (it looked sad). i asked for a freshly poached egg, but i was told the cook was too busy to cook from scratch (with only one other couple dining, mind you).

Really good Hotel Experience

clean roomcomfortable chairspleasant staffslippy tiles
I found the room immaculate. The en suite was well-appointed. Eating areas were clean. I noted the reading room included a lit fire and comfortable chairs. I was pleased to have the daily paper available.
The room lacked an anti-slip mat in the bath. The shower, positioned over the bath, made access difficult.
