"I booked a double room without ensuite for myself. It was very comfortable and only a couple of doors from the bathroom and near the kitchenette, (microwave, toaster and jug and fridge). Large kitchen was down stairs. The bed was comfortable and the towels were new and large and fluffy..... such a treat. I never had to wait to use the bathroom and the facilities were kept very clean and tidy. I enjoyed my stay here and will return."
