The room we were given was in a strange house outside the hotel. The fixtures and fittings were dated and the mattress protector was a bit lumpy. The room was quite dark too.

Great hotel, with very friendly staff. Room spacious and comfortable. Bathroom large, but only one hook in the bathroom, and not much area to put stuff on; if I’d been travelling with my wife, my bathroom clutter would’ve been consigned to the bedroom.
