I love the spacious room. If you have heavy luggage, do note that you have to lug it up a flight of stairs.

Nice greeting when we arrived,our room was alright comfortable but slightly shabby.Clean though.we had a cream tea in the afternoon which really wasn’t very good at all,the scone turned to dust after I cut into it,making it almost impossible to spread anything on it. We had a good nights sleep the bed was comfortable The breakfast was disappointing,couldn’t finish my sausage Throughout our stay there was a strange smell in the building.
