The location was excellent, near the town center. I found the grounds at the rear of the hotel to be beautiful. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast included both English and continental buffet options, a nice variety.
The door did not lock in the first room I received. I had to move to a smaller room in an outbuilding. The skirting board behind the toilet had black mold and was rotten because of a leak.
