Fantastic stay!

friendly staff clean room beautiful grounds
The staff was friendly, and the service was very good. Our family room included two double beds. They were clean though slightly dated. The hotel grounds proved beautiful for a stroll. I found that the friendly staff really enhanced the experience.
I noticed the bedrooms looked outdated and could use some modernisation. the bathroom had poor water pressure.
