Lovely place to stay. There were a number of marks on the walls and the table was dusty, but apart from that, everything else was great. Thank you.

The room was comfortable and clean. Everything was well thought out and every thing easy to use. The food was very nice and the service was good. On a negative note the floor above was very squeaky and woke us up at 5.30 in the morning when they started walking up and down!
