The room was cold when we arrived. The heating took a long time to make to room feel comfortable. It was a pleasant nights sleep. In the morning the heating and lighting failed to work. Resorted to using the table lamp while having a shower. When we told reception there was no maintenance person working on a Sunday . Also would have liked to use the swimming pool but it was closed . Breakfast was very nice so much choice .

Toilet could be replaced, think theres some plumbing issues. No plugs beside the bed. No proper light for room, only lamps with out of sync switches next to them. No tea or coffee tray in the room. Small pillows.
