The room was spacious. I got a larger room than initially booked. Breakfast was fantastic , I especially enjoyed the variety of options available.

The heating was on all night in the room , but I couldn't turn it off , so the room was really hot. The room above was very noisy . I could hear creaky floorboards, disruptive.

The grounds are pretty. I liked that.
