Really good Stay Experience

comfortable bed clean bathroom tea facilities adequate warmth
The room provided a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom. Tea and coffee facilities were available in the room. Furnishings were nice and the room benefitted from natural light and adequate warmth, with blinds that enhanced privacy. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast offerings and the inviting breakfast room, benefiting from both cooked options and a breakfast bar stocked with cereals and fresh fruit.
The radiator in my bedroom had some functionality issues, and the single-glazed sash window caused a slight draft. It was not ideal! though manageable.
