Pros:

General atmosphere / facilities were good

Cons:

Noise from room above at approx 7.30am was really annoying (cleaners?)

Bar staff said "I'm now calling last orders" and then literally vanished for 15 minutes. When she eventually returned I felt like I was causing her a problem asking for a drink even though I'd waited at the bar all the while she was missing in action

We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
Pros:

Size of room
Furnishings gave a luxury, very comfortable and cozy feel to the room.
Black out Curtains very much appreciated.
Bed comfortable.

Cons:

Although the bathroom looked clean at first sight, I felt it could have been a little cleaner in some areas - sink plughole area, WC and soap splashes on tiles. Just personal preference on these issues.
