Dirty room
Pros:

The room was spacious. The food was very good. The staff were polite and friendly.

Cons:

The bedroom looked like it'd not been properly cleaned for months. The amount of dust was unbelievable. The bathroom wasn't much better. The housekeeping team really need to learn how to effectively clean a room.

Pleasant but a little disappointing
Pros:

Breakfast was nice (would have been Nicer is pastries were warm)
Room was okay (just not as big as expected) bed was comfy.
Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The shower was very scaled around the drain area and the bottom of the door. The shower water kept jumping from hot to scalding to cold without us touching the setting.

Food Prices were rather high.

Room we had was upstairs and in a room with low ceiling parts which is not good if like us you are tall, my husband kept catching himself.
