Solid Stay with Convenient Location

clean bed large bathroom helpful staff

The king bed in my room was very very comfy and tidy. My room was a good size with a large, functional bathroom. The staff were helpful at reception and in the pub (they were always ready to assist).

The toilet rocked slightly from side to side when I sat on it, as it was not properly secured to the floor.
