The staff was helpful. I found the evening meal and breakfast freshly cooked. The room was clean, comfortable, and stocked with a tea tray and toiletries. There was ample room for the dogs to sniff around, with extensive parking and play areas available.

I heard every conversation from the room above because of the terrible soundproofing. I found it difficult to sleep and had to leave early.
