Room was gorgeous. Very big and comfortable. Spotless on arrival. 50inch tv with smart channels. Bed very very comfortable. Downside would be stairs - very steep and there’s a lot. As someone with Asthma I probably would have requested a lower floor if I’d have known! T Also hotel takes £100 deposit on arrival, wish this had been clearer as I’d budgeted for the trip which meant I had to scramble for the extra cash!

Room is lovely!! Had a big bathroom with a good bath, and the room was clean and had a good aesthetic. The staff are very kind and welcoming. Doors and reception is open all night which was really useful. They do take £100 upon checking in for safety or something which I’m waiting to get back. But other than that it was really nice, also had a bar and breakfast but we didn’t get a chance to check that out. View and area was great too.
