The staff were friendly and helpful at the front desk. our room featured plenty of towels along with tea and coffee making facilities. Bathroom amenities were also provided. i enjoyed the breakfast menu and the evening meal we had one night was quite good.
The floorboards squeaked quite a bit. This was a real annoyance. i also noticed little sound deadening between rooms, leading to a less restful night
