Everything. It is an old manor house and you can feel the history in it. It was very well kept and very clean. The staff was very friendly.

The high bathtub. Was a little hard to get in and out of.

La posizione e la pulizia

Pros:

Considering the price and the location of the hotel - a very good deal. Nice clean room, spacious bathroom with a window.

Cons:

Although it was an understandable practice, we were initially hoping for a more substantial breakfast (varies depending on where the reservation was made).
