Positive - Good size rooms, comfortable beds, adequate parking. Not so good - Bathroom needed a deep clean, dust and mould collecting around shower tray. Towels have seen better days and could do with replacing. Breakfast was cooked to order which was nice however not all items advertised were available which let it down.
