The staff provided first class service. The breakfast was superb. The hotel has plenty of parking and a pretty front garden.

The bar close early at 19:00. The rooms are small, with two people it difficult to move. The bathroom is also very small.

dated decor lacking ventilation

breakfast met my expectations and was perfectly cooked

I found the room's decor to be somewhat dated and not entirely to my taste. the bathroom lacked a proper ventilation system. Moisture lingered. noise from adjacent rooms was more noticeable than i would have liked, impacting my rest.
