a satisfactory accommodation

large bedroomfriendly staffgood foodscruffy decormissing side tablesthin curtains
the bedroom and bathroom were quite large. the staff members were friendly and served very good food. nothing was too much trouble for them.
the bedroom decor looked very scruffy it really needs redecoration. there were no side tables next to the bed. the room needs proper curtains to block out light and noise.

Solid Stay With Minor Issues

ample parkingwarm receptiongenerous facilities
I found ample parking on arrival. The reception was warm. My room included generous tea and coffee facilities. They replenished it for my second day.
The decor showed wear and tear. The shower needed some attention to address mould issues. This detracted slightly from the overall experience.
