The Building is an old one. However, interesting and clean.The Rooms are dated and furniture needs updating. Bed clean and comfortable the en-suite very good and shower efficient. The Breakfast very good and plenty of variety. The Car Park too small restrictive and dangerous. The Receptionists and Staff very helpful courteous and lovely.
