Good would hope the 2 issued above can be sorted before we return
Pros:

Central comfortable bed

Cons:

We had two rooms, small hythe and Avalon. Small hythe at the front was very chilly, felt like there was a window open but there was not, not ideal unless you like a chilly bedroom. Avalon was comfortably warm.
Shower in small hythe was great? Hot and powerful. Avalon was terrible drip of water and shower kept falling out of fitting, so not great.
