April 3, 2011A nice location, but we'd probably want a room in the main building next time rather than up the hill.
Great location and friendly staff.
The shower splashed water over the bathroom floor. Water pressure was too high and the shower splash guard was too small. There was a musty odor in the corridors leading to the room. Possibly cleaner, or mold.

Noise in bedroom until late evening from local train line; poor quality cutlery; slow service with a-la-carte menu

Good
Very comfortable bed and excellent continental breakfast.
Approach to room rather disappointing but thank goodness it was fine. Very poor quality glasses in bathroom and bathroom floor got wet when taking a shower. Having no bitter in the bar was disappointing and no reason not to have bottled bitter even if not available on draught.
