Pros:

The Hotel was clean and the decor kept fresh and bright,
The furniture was Morden and well kept

Cons:

The only difficulty was the en-suite, as it has a step, but we coped, For the short time we were there. So not too bigger problem

Travelling with dog, very pleasant.
Pros:

Staying with my dog, who travels everywhere with me, this was a lovely, very clean space. Both of us were welcomed, with dog getting a spot of breakfast in the form of a sausage while I enjoy mine. Comfy rooms, and perfect for my travels. Repeat stayer with plans to stay again in the future.
