bay window extra tea relaxing space
The room offered a beautiful view from the bay window. It felt spacious and had everything i needed. i found extra tea, coffee, and milk available in the reception. This detail felt thoughtful. sitting outside with a coffee felt relaxing. I enjoyed that space a lot.
The mattress felt old and quite uncomfortable. The pillows felt lumpy, causing some neck pain.

hotel location excellent location comfortable room bed size pungent smell dirty carpet
the hotel location was excellent and right in the centre. lots of amenities and walks were nearby. the room itself was beautiful and very comfortable. tea, coffee, and biscuits were restocked daily, i found it nice.
i booked a beautiful king room, i doubt the bed was king size. there was a pungent smell. the carpets, both communal and in the room, seemed dirty, and this may account for the smell.
