Staff were friendly and helpful, beautiful views all round and close to lovely towns. Breakfast was good too. A couple of let downs though, shower kept turning itself on and loud waterhammer. The door had quite a gap underneath with a lot of light being let in. Loud door bangs and someone stood outside door to our room. Would stay again but in a different room.
