Lights tripped twice on arrival, fan in bathroom very noisy. Lack of power points by bed. Didn’t replenish any tea, milk or toilet rolls. Windows didn’t open or close properly which meant you could hear everything on the street. Location excellent, very good shower and nice big room. Hallway smells divine.

I think it was down to my chronic pain why I felt the bed was a little uncomfortable. Amazing beautiful decor and staff attentive and helpful. Amazing gluten free breakfast far too much so next time I will ask for less. One of the best gluten free breakfasts Imo highly recommend
