I found the room to be very clean. The furniture was in good condition too. the beautiful kingsize bed was roomy and comfortable, perfect for resting my weary head. breakfast offered a good choice, ensuring a good start to the day.

the car park seemed full, a small inconvenience when arriving. also, i overheard some staff moaning, it was a little off putting to hear such things.
