We had a great room. Nice and warm. Great bed and pillows.. Buffet breakfast excellent. We went off season and managed to use the pool, which is an unusual design and only 6 people allowed in the pool at same time so not sure how useful in the summer. We were with family - 6 of us, so we had pool to ourselves and the children loved it.

Excellent weeks stay . Good breakfast and lovely staff. All clean and tidy but don’t expect it to be brand new . It’s a vintage building with lots of quirks. Would recommend.
