Very quiet good nights sleep.
Garden our room looked out to needs weeding as has been a pretty area
Toilet needed a deep clean. Not a good look to have a brown bowl
The cleaners are super lovely. The reception not as lovely. The showers need a good proper clean, as they look like there’s another species growing on them. And the walls need some dusting/ cleaning.

Old and dated, well priced for someone that is only looking for a place to stay
Water had peculiar taste, unable to establish it, think it was kettle and when you have 90 year old aunt with you who loves her cup of teacan be upsetting
