clean roomhelpful staffbeautiful spacefire hazardshort leadwall bed
The room was clean and beautiful. i enjoyed the dove loft. It was a large lovely space. the staff were available on the phone when we arrived late and helped us find the place.
The electric sockets had many extentions. It seemed a fire hazard. the kettle lead was short. I had to put the kettle on the floor near a plug. the double bed was against a wall, so one of us had to climb from the bottom to get onto the bed.

fantastic stay
really good cleanlinessdetailed attentionrelaxed feelingluggage storage
My room was clean, which i really value. the attention to detail throughout the hotel was apparent and added to the experience. i felt quite relaxed during my entire visit. There was no sense of being rushed. i really appreciated them allowing me to leave my bags in the room after checkout while i grabbed some breakfast.
I noticed the electric sockets had a few too many extensions. I thought it was potentially a slight fire risk.

The location was acceptable, as it was close to local pubs.
The electric sockets showed extension cords. This is certainly a fire hazard. The kettle lead was too short. I had to place the kettle on the floor near a plug.

The location was excellent. The garden area in the courtyard was really lovely. I enjoyed the balcony with the chairs to sit out. The cleanliness of the room impressed me.
The electric sockets had too many extentions of various types. It seemed like a fire hazard. The lead to the kettle was so short that I had to put the kettle on the floor near a plug.
