The location of the hotel was quite convenient.
The room was rather small. a low ceiling. The room temperature was not adjustable, therefore I found it stuffy. It was very difficult to relax there.

the staff are really good. they presented us with a really nice room arrangement for our anniversary celebration. they always managed the cables for our own chargers with velcro, it was lovely.
the hotel provided an upgrade, but it had a toilet with a faulty cistern, that ran constantly. it stopped for the manager, but then started again. this carried on all day and night. it certainly did not give us a relaxing night away.

the traditional English decor was fine, a real feast for the eyes! breakfast offered great choices, and everything was clean. turned down service at night was like such a luxury. heated towels were heavenly.
The gym and pool was temporarily closed. This hampered our ability to maintain our fitness routine . it would have been nice to have access to these facilities. the limited availability was quite disappointing, disrupting our planned activities.
