We booked a family room, it was great! Plenty of room both upstairs and down, the only complaint would be that the stairs are very noisy but probably not something that would be an easy fix otherwise enjoyed our stay

This is a very family friendly property. Staff were very helpful and maintain a very high level of cleanliness. The resident cat is adorable and made us feel at home. The only small issue , is that there is very little soundproofing so you can hear voices from adjoining rooms. Would definitely go back again.
