I found the room large and very comfortable with modern amenities. I really enjoyed the friendly bar downstairs with good food. The breakfast was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I am so grateful.

good breakfastnever openedbar situation
The breakfast was VERY good. I found lots of choices available.
The bar NEVER opened. This disappointed me since i chose this accommodation partly for that amenity. After long walks, relaxation with a pint was impossible.
