Pros:

Convenient for buses and walking into town.
Towels changed regularly
Excellent continental breakfast
Comfortable bed.
Bedroom with lots of space and seating
Plenty of mirrors

Cons:

Sadly we reported television not working when we arrived on the Tuesday
Reported it Wednesday and it was Thursday before the house keeper heard about it . She fixed it for us.
A steep flight of steps to front door - no lighting so quite dangerous for us as at 82 and 83. Reported it and was told the automatic lighting mustn't be working ⁹

Come back again
Pros:

Every nice staff even we have to leave in early morning and no staff after 6 pm. They show us how to do. Luckily , we have space for free parking inside and just walk a bit to take a bus to downtown. Better pay parking inside downtown it’s costly. They know our flight is early morning they prepare breakfast for us in advance to keep in fridge. Love it
