Bedrooms & decor of good quality, (though mattress had seen better days) but peripherals could benefit from attention -just one eg waste bin outside entrance full of butt ends & planters would benefit from sprucing up, breakfast area uninspiring & a bit tatty around the edges Potential of being really nice stay with a bit more tiding up & attention to detail.
