Pros:

Facilities in room were good. Size of bed good.
Nice breakfast and food in restsurant was of a good standard.. Outside area was well kept and attractive. Staff were attentive.

Cons:

Number of steps up to the room , no lift. . For some this would be a real problem.
Lack of safety catch on window which meant it kept blowing open so had to shut it, also windows were dirty and hadcobwebs and dead flies.
