The hotel's location suited my needs well. The twin room was comfortable. The varied breakfast menu allowed me to sit and watch squirrels playing in trees. I enjoyed an evening meal in the dining room.
The room felt quite dark. The fixtures and fittings seemed cheap and badly installed. I saw mould in the shower it did not look finished.
