Just fitted for visiting nearby family.
Pros:

All meals were excellent. Brilliant chef.
The staff were very helpful, as although I had wanted a walk in shower this was not available and the staff provided me with a rubber bath mat so I could use the shower over bath.
I was also allocated a ground floor room which actually suited me being over 80.

Cons:

There was quite a bit of noise from the occupants of the room above mine. I was on the ground floor. Mostly the noise seemed like very creaky floorboards but that is a guess. I think the occupants changed during my stay and at one stage it was very noisy and then for a couple of nights not so much.

Cons:

The site states it within walking distance of train station - It is too far to walk I had a station person give me a lift as no taxis available . Not your problem but I would recommend people book a taxi for pick up .
