Good stay, a few minor hitches but overall was comfortable.
Pros:

Breakfast very good.
Bed comfortable.

Cons:

Car park not convenient to the entrance: it was right at the back with no back door entrance available for guests therefore had to carry our luggage right round the whole area where hotel situated . We are in our 70s so not ideal.
Also put on top floor and lift only went to first floor therefore had to climb stairs to last floor and no handrail on the stairs.. unsafe.
