Breakfast was extra special. Information was readily available in the tv screen opening screen. The room itself was spacious, bright and housekeeping should be acknowledged for their great work in replenishing towels and coffee/tea supplies! If there was one puzzling surprise in the midst of this it was the poor mattress quality… a rather crucial item. Or was it just this room? Otherwise a good find. ##### Alison Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Duncan 1 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Room spotless.
