Staff was great and friendly spa was good but abit to high for people with knee problems. But it was a great room.

Windows need a good clean hard to open and wasn't really that warm.

No issues.

The stay was nice.

The kettle didn't work for filling hot water bottles. No one was available in reception. There was a sign that reception was out for a while. After trying twice we gave up as it was getting late.

Location was perfect. And hostess was super friendly. And very accommodating. And over worked from the amount of running around she had to do.

The place is tired, the owners need to spend money on a revamp, the carpets are thread bare, and the place was outdated. Over priced for what you get.

The utensils! It was great to have the plates and cups and things for cup of tea!

The smell! It has a weird smell. Maybe some air freshener would help.

Very warm, especially as it was cold 🌧 raining had a good night in watching TV, cooking facilities, toiletl bathroom were good

The main thing was there was no curtains by the kitchen, as light from neighboring property beaming in, bathroom needs a upgrade, kitchen and sleep area also the radiator with a heat guard, ok for adults but not children

It was excellent value. A good sized room and large bathroom with great shower.

It'd be good to have a confortable easy chair to sit on when watching the tv, rather than having to make do with the chair which goes with the dining table.
