My room was clean and furnished to a high standard. Complimentary water was provided in the room and more water in the entrance hall. The owners were very helpful, they ensured my stay was excellent. I greatly valued the quality touches added to the room.
The bed in my cosy room was rather small for a double, it did affect my rest slightly.

mixed feelings about the stay

good locationsmall bedno room service
the location worked well for my plans
the double bed felt too small for two people despite the room size being acceptable the lack of daily room service was quite annoying i understand environmental concerns but it felt more like a cost-saving measure charging around £100 a night without this service is a bit much
