the staff was friendly and cute, so that was acceptable.
The bedroom lighting was insufficient. it was difficult to read after dark. breakfast was also disappointing. We were not offered rolls or bread, nor were preserves or butter available.

ample parkingfaulty doordangerous lock
the food was good. the parking was ample.
The bedroom door had a fault. staff had to open it for me twice. a simple lubricant application could have solved the issue. similarly, the bathroom door lock needed attention. It was easy to lock from the inside, but difficult to open, this could be dangerous in an emergency.

the room was spacious (it had a nice sitting area). fresh milk was available for tea and coffee. the restaurant offered tasty food and some creative options for non-meat eaters.
the patio heaters were not turned on outside, so it was a bit cold.
