lovely staff water view excellent breakfast missing wallpaper broken heater plumbed taps

the dining room overlooked the water. the beer garden also has water views. our room, oakham, had a good view over the beer garden. it also had a view of the water through the patio doors. the bed was comfy and i slept very well. the bathroom was great!!! breakfast was excellent and had lots of choice.

wallpaper was missing to the right of the headboard. the heater was hanging off the wall and not working very well. there was no mirror for my wife to get ready. the sink taps were plumbed incorrectly. the decoration on the wall and ceiling was very poor.
