A comfortable stay, in a nicely presented hotel
Pros:

Room was neat and tidy. Bed was clean and comfortable. Had a meal in the bistro, which was good as well.

On arrival, I entered through the bar (I didn't notice the driveway entrance). A manager there was very helpful, getting us checked in easily.

Cons:

Bathroom was a bit on the tight side in regards to space, but more than useable for short stays

Easy instructions, clean and comfy room, GOOD POWER PORT POSITIONING.
Pros:

The power ports were right next to the bedside. Very very good for needing to charge phone and my nebuliser. Great that it had all the essentials there. It was a super clean room as well. I came in late, so I didn't have contact with staff, but the instructions were very clear and it was so easy to navigate when I came in late and exhausted. Bonus: the light in the hallway is very fun lol

Cons:
