4/5 Good

"Friendly obliging people and service if a bit disorganised. Food was good and bed was very comfortable if a bit small. We were in room 10. We only had one towel but when we asked they gave us another and when we asked again they gave us hand towels. Bulbs missing from room so a bit dim. Also strangely a plug missing from sink in bathroom. Excellent breakfast . On the whole for the price paid good value."
