Overall my stay was brilliant. If I must quibble, water in shower, toilet and sinks was a bit weak. Again, loved the room and overall accommodation, made my visit all that more restful/enjoyable.

I thought the stay was pleasant enough and the staff helpful. If I had to be completely honest there was overnight noise that detracted from a pleasant experience.
