The hotel and location were very good. After a little hiccup with our allocated room ( problem with hot water out of both taps) and the room looking out onto a wall making it dark and gloomy ( one night would have been ok but three we thought….no) The staff were more than helpful and apologetic and moved us to an upgraded room which was wonderful . Rosemary Ann was particularly helpful and friendly it was lovely to meet her. No breakfast on site but nice restaurant’s within walking distance especially Jeannies.
