Lovely spacious room, spotless and speciality teas and cafetiere with ground coffee and fresh milk in a small flask. Staff really friendly and helpful and beautiful breakfast in the morning.

Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Very limited storage space, especially in the bathroom nowhere to put toiletries. Also for safety, it would be a good idea to have a hand rail in the bath/shower
