8/10 Good
"The staff were very attentive to our request to accommodate my dad who has poor mobility and ensured that he was near both the reception and breakfast room. The staff were all kind and friendly. Everything was spotless, the bed was comfortable, and nice quality linen, however, we felt the en-suite bathroom could do with an update."
