Comfortable, old fashioned, nice pool.

Great food. Lovely staff (need to grab their attention if you need anything). Single bed is small. I'd suggest a larger single for comfort. Bit of a wait for breakfast ordering and takes a while to come out (I was there on business and needed to allow more time).
