The location was great. I enjoyed the excellent breakfast each morning. The staff were always friendly (especially Julia!).
The room felt a little dated. I noticed some creaky floorboards in the hallway. The towels felt slightly old.

breakfast offered a good selection of cooked options. there was attention to detail with the beverage choices. there was toast available, though it seemed limited to a slice each, along with portioned marmalade and strawberry jam.
