Overall, we had a nice stay. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom was large and modern. One thing to be aware of is that there’s no elevator (that I’m aware of), so carrying heavy bags up the stairs can be challenging. Breakfast doesn’t start until 8am, which may be inconvenient for early risers. Clearer instructions would be helpful for guests not from the UK, especially for things like turning the heated towel rack and heated floors on and off. The TV was a bit unreliable and didn’t always work consistently, possibly due to the remote or the TV itself being outdated. On the positive side, breakfast was enjoyable and freshly cooked to order. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few small areas that could be improved.
