Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I booked a single room that was enough forward me. The carpeted areas on corridors and at least in my room need attention- there were visible stairs in various places. The bed was very comfortable, but the base was quite stained. Lovely big towel and a bath- but nowhere to hang the towel to dry as no healing/ towel rails. Warm room with tea and coffee provided with biscuits. Nice staff too. Breakfast was nice although coffee wasn't that great...
