Amy at the front desk was perfectly friendly, and the facade of the place looked nice. However, I felt the value for the price we paid for 1 night (250 USD) was discordant. The restaurant was closed for renovations, so we had to find somewhere off-site to eat dinner. There was a 10 pound charge per person if we wanted to have a continental breakfast. There is no parking at the property, so we had to pay 5 pounds to park in a dirt lot across the street. Thankfully we were there on a cool day. There was no AC in the room. Even though it was cool outside, inside was uncomfortably warm. We had the window open the whole time we were there, but air flow in/out of the room was not good. Because the window was open, we heard every passerby.
