"Room was clean, snug and maybe a little extra needed for hanging clothes, bathroom modern and also very clean. Only real moan was the lighting, which was not great and due to aesthetics I feel! Had little to do with staff and they were fine. Did not use the bar. Had breakfast on our first morning and no complaints, though did think £14 each was a little steep."
