The room was very clean, good size bathroom with underfloor heating, bed and pillows were very comfortable. For me the duvet could have been thicker as I turn the heating off overnight but that’s personal preference. Overall a really good stay and will come back soon.

Very friendly staff, spotless room, luxurious bed, tasty breakfast, great facilities. Just a shame that the very basic TV could barely hold a signal and became unwatchable, and the WiFi wasn't working (after logging in, there was no internet available).
