8/10 Good
"The place and location were great and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was really nice and cooked to order so freshly cooked. Bar staff were very attentive and friendly. Only down side was that our room was a bit damp, almost certainly as a result of the shower seal leaking, which is an easy fix, but had obviously been like it for quire some time, so room smelt musty. So general maintenance needs to be improved in my opinion."
