We requested a ground floor room as my wife has some mobility issues, The room was adequate, bed comfort fair. The bathroom, whilst clean, and with a good shower, overall appeared lacking in maintenance. Staff were friendly and helpful. Ground level room parking at the front to the property was rather tight, but the main car park at the rear is fine.

The staff were exceptional! They had booked us an upstairs room, but due to my husbands health, that was not even an option, so the staff changed us to a downstairs room with no issues. It was comfortable, clean and exactly what we needed for the two of us.
