the staff were very friendly i have to say. parking was also available and convenient near to the hotel.
there wasn't shower gel in the room. you had to ask for it, they said it was about reducing carbon footprint and i think they should have dispensers. also they didn't service the room daily, you had to ask for that too.

The staff were super friendly. They even prepared a take-away continental breakfast for me because i was leaving early. the evening meal was AMAZING!!! it was fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced. i especially appreciated the politeness and courtesy of the staff.
There wasn't enough milk in my room for even one drink. i also had to request shower gel, because they wanted to reduce their carbon footprint. my room wasn't serviced automatically. I had to ask for it.

Average Stay. Issues Existed

hard bedloose lampshade
The bed presented an issue. I found it hard, causing discomfort throughout the night. A bedside lampshade was loose. It wobbled at the slightest touch, I worried it would fall. The room was also cold. I found the heating controls confusing.

The staff was very chatty . I found the food to be lovely. The beer garden provided a relaxing atmosphere (perfect for an afternoon pint).
I noticed the lighting in my room was quite terrible. It was so dark that I needed to use the TV for extra light. The bed was hard. I found it quite uncomfortable.
