Acceptable Stay

The staff was helpful and accommodating. The bedrooms were clean. The bedrooms were also well presented.
The cold shower had very low pressure. I climbed 46 steps to the top floor. Getting luggage up there was difficult.

adequate stay

clean room spacious room friendly staff cold shower low pressure many steps
The room was clean and well cared for. it was lovely and spacious, just what i needed (i travel a lot, so space is important). the staff were lovely and friendly on arrival. They got me checked in quickly.
I found the cold shower disappointing. The water pressure was very low. my room was on the top floor. It was 46 steps up with no lift. this made getting luggage up there difficult.

The location provided easy access to main attractions. Breakfast included a good selection of freshly cooked food. The room had tea making facilities. This was convenient.
The room was quite small for a family room. The shower pressure was low (it was on the top floor). Carrying luggage up 46 steps to the top floor was hard work.
