old-fashioned bathroom overall feel

Breakfast had a good range and was well presented..

The room was small, and the bathroom looked old. The bathroom's overall feel left something to be desired, a bit of a letdown.

Fantastic Murder Mystery Evening

organized seating plan excellent quality upstairs bar

I attended a murder mystery evening and was impressed. The upstairs lounge bar was available upon my early arrival. I appreciated the organized seating plan and place cards that identified seating and meals. The vegan option was large and of excellent quality.

underwhelming stay

tiny fan no bed socket

the staff was lovely, so that was a plus.

The room i booked was tiny, and i found only one small fan. there were also no outlets near the bed. I had to plug the fan in far away, near the tv. it was not good.
