When we order a private room, we expect a toilet and bath to be private as well.
Very helpful staff. Couldn't do enough for me. Great room, although up 2 flights if old stairs. Lovely aspect & views. Remote - that's why I chose it anyway
Nice evening meal. Good choices for breakfast, despite no use of self catering kitchen due to COVID restrictions
I did not stay there. After making reservations I received an email from the location that they were unable to process payment on my cc. I then phoned the location and after numerous attempts they were still unable to process the payment so I was told by their staff that she would have to cancel my reservation because of this issue. I made reservations elsewhere however this location ended charging my card as a no show.
