Bathroom was dated. It would have been helpful to have a separate note of how to operate the temperature of the shower as the markings had rubbed off. We worked it out eventually.

Overall I really liked this hotel. Clean, comfortable and lovely staff. Very good price and dog friendly. Food was served until a good time and reasonably priced. My main issue comes from lack of sensible plug points in the bedrooms. None around the beds in the room we had. No big deal of there are useable points elsewhere but they were above the table which was not moveable in order to create enough space for a plug which feeds downwards as do most phone chargers and plugs in general. There is 1 usb port but it seemed slow. It was a bit of a hassle trying to work off lap top and also charge a mobile phone at the same time, unable to sit comfortably on the bed to do so. Also an extra bedside table for the twin room wouldnt go amis. Otherwise a really pleasant stay.
