Pretty basic. Both rooms were freezing when we arrived. Despite being booked the thermostat was at zero in both, not even a minimum temperature. It took hours for them to warm up. The room was a good size. Basic but had all you needed. It was clean enough. The mattress on the bed had lost all its bounce and was like a water bed every time you moved. not a great nights sleep. The staff were very nice
