"Lovely room and very nice to have cheese and wine at 5.30pm. Excellent breakfast. A fire in our room was a welcome addition and the facilities were very comfortable. Only issue was that the floorboards above creaked a lot so we were disturbed by people moving around upstairs. Room 205 is next to the laundry and service area so it’s quite noisily early in the morning until later in the evening. Not the best room but all very comfortable."
