"Only spent 1 night there in a small single room in the East wing, exactly as advertised though, small but comfortable bed, good value for money in my opinion. Paid for the buffet breakfast on the day, good value for money though even at the higher rate. Evening in the bar waa quite lively considering the time of year. Would recommend."
