Room was spacious, modern facility, clean and comfortable. Only negative was we were on the front of the building so could hear traffic noise but wasn’t a big issue.

Few minutes walk from town and supermarket, is down and up a hill though so be aware if you have health issues. Well equipped clean room. Bit of traffic noise. Very noisy dawn chorus that apparently happens only around October, November time.
