"We stayed in room 1. The room was large with plenty of storage space and nice furnishings. There were lots of nice touches. A sherry decanter, nice biscuits to go with your tea, a chocolate on your pillow each day and some water in the fridge. The bathroom was large and there was a range of nice toiletries and lovely fluffy towels.

"There is no onsite parking, which was falsely advertised on the app. We tried to find street parking at several times each day and evening but there was none. So the parking permit was useless. Parking was a block away in a public car park which cost us £21 for our 2 night stay.
