The room was fine although it had not been cleaned properly as there were cornflakes on the floor of the lobby. We were pleased to have no TV as it is often a distraction. Very good buffet breakfast. Might need a better toaster! It does get noisy in the dining room if there is crowd together

This is a Christian retreat charging hotel prices. Rooms are comfortable but sparse (No wallpaper, no TV) and could do with redecorating.
