GREAT stay!

great foodexcellent servicewarm roomrattling radiators
The food was GREAT I had dinner and breakfast. BOTH were delicious and the service was excellent, although they were busy. The room was clean, inviting, and warm after a day walking. I was very HAPPY.
The room was small with rattling radiators I needed to bleed. The view of the hotel air conditioning pipework was not ideal. I would AVOID that room.
