Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The space was great,all we needed,and surprisingly quite being so close to a main road . Very central to the town and all amenities, however the room could do with some cosmetic fixing up .And dish liquid would also be helpful for washing up the dishes provided, especially on extended stays.
Staff were amazingly helpful, happy and pleasant. The room was spacious and we loved the bay window dining area. Lovely fluffy white towels and daily room service. We loved it
The building. I love castles. But that’s not all. Room was clean and welcoming. Bed slept good. Reception guy was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for an awesome stay.
