The Christmas decorations offered a warm welcome. The menu presented wonderful meals. I found the beds very comfortable. The shower had good water pressure. The staff were friendly and courteous. I enjoyed cereal, toast, coffee, and a full English breakfast prepared fresh by the chef.

the location was convenient, and the room size was acceptable (it was adequate for my needs).
i found the service to be lacking warmth. a staff member seemed unaware of my dog's presence, despite prior notification. the room, although nice and modern, suffered from a noticeable amount of dust, and there were dead flies on the window sills, quite unpleasant
