"The room was good with plenty of room and a large king size bed which was comfortable, Bathroom was good if a bit old fashioned. Staff friendly and helpful. There are a lot of stairs in the hotel, think carefully if you struggle to walk up or down stairs. There were two large coach parties staying so the restaurant was very full and it took us more than 2 hours to get our dinner."
