The breakfast seating area, both inside and out, was very pretty, a welcome start to each day. I found the ground floor room quiet and very accessible. Ideal for me. The recent refurbishment shows a beautiful new design. I saw attentive staff working hard to please every guest.

The steep steps from the car park posed a slight challenge when I was carrying luggage! though the location was perfect.
