good getaway

available ironwelcome traydrinks optionfresh milk
I really enjoyed that iron and board were available in the room without my asking. i also found a welcome tray awaiting me with a lovely personal message. there were 'posh' biscuits and various drinks options (a very nice touch!). i especially liked the fresh milk option, complete with a small urn to keep it cool. I thought that was fantastic.
the soundproofing wasn't great, and i could hear every movement from the adjacent rooms. it was a very minor issue (certainly didn't ruin the stay).

Excellent Hotel Experience

I appreciated the very warm welcome upon arrival. I quickly completed check-in and proceeded to my cozy single room. The room and en-suite were clean and the bed was comfortable. I found breakfast to have a super choice. Both continental and full English options were available.
The TV was not working and staff could not fix it during my one night stay. I received an offer of a coffee as compensation when I checked out.
