The room was excellent, just big enough had all you needed. And staff was happy to give me extra milk and tea ect ( we drink lors of it ) We didnt need to ask fir extra pillowsas pillows were lovely and plump, we had an accessible room, lovely big wet room, a slope up to the door. The breakfast options were extremly generous portions, as was lunch, and evening meals, toast and sandwiches are doorstep thick, i loved it! It was to much for my 91 year old mum lol but she made a good effort. We would go back again.
