Mixed Experience

front driveno tvcold bathroom
The parking was located on the front drive.
The room lacked a TV. Heating barely worked. The bathroom felt especially cold. I also noted noise from people moving around the house. It was quite bothersome.

The continental breakfast included a boiled egg. Off road parking was available, which i found convenient (in this area it's really helpful). The location is in a lovely area, i was pleased.
The central heating wasn't on at all during my first night, i found it really cold. There was no heating in the bathroom either. Sometimes it was noisy, i could hear general movement of others around the house.
