The rooms are clean and fresh. There are many refreshments available in the rooms and plenty of facilities. The pub food is amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the fish tasted delicious. Bar staff create surprise cocktails to suit your needs.
The room had a very slight musty smell upon arrival, though it improved after airing it out.
