The staff were all very friendly and helpful. However, the room was not upto par in as much as it was dusty, I don’t think the fan, the press machine or mirrors and pictures had been done for yonks! Not really good if you have allergies (I don’t luckily) Otherwise we enjoyed our stay. It’s just a pity good cleaners are hard to come by.
