Decent stay with minor downsides

large roomlovely breakfastaccess detailstiny shower

My room was quite large and included cutlery. A microwave and a fridge were also available. I appreciated the chocolates and biscuits provided. The breakfast delivered to the room in the morning was lovely.

The hotel details were not sent prior to my arrival. Getting access information over the phone took some time. Rooms have separate bathrooms and mine was tiny. The shower cubicle was small and I had to crouch to wash.

The TV box did not function properly.
