Pros:

Lovely room and very comfortable bed. Liked the touch of the milk in a thermos to keep it cool.

Cons:

No separate shower which is not a huge problem but hand held shower in bath was not very good when it came to washing hair. The lock on the door to the room didn't work properly/was broken. Even though we told several people about this there did not appear to be any effort to try and fix it.
