The room had good amenities and it was surprisingly quiet as our room faced the road. Breakfast times were really good and a good selection of choices. The evening meal was very generous, not sure if they changed the menu daily as we ate out the second night.

Rooms are good, but small. Large furniture is a bit of a waste of space - could do with somewhere to put a case incase of a very large antique wardrobe (which is very nice, but not in such a small room). Room size makes it a little expensive, but the breakfast choice is very good (made to order)
