Everything was clean. Quiet location. Bed uncomfortable. Toilet seat would have to be the most uncomfortable I've ever used. No where in shower to put shampoo etc.
Just basic tea and coffee and didn't offer a biscuit.

Staff were friendly, polite and helpful as we were first time guests rapt that the staff remembered our drink preferences.
