There is no kitchen facilities other than a refrigerator,hot water jug , mugs and glasses. The room had a comfortable double bed and 2 side chairs. We were comfortable and slept well. The staff were friendly and helpful Car parking was provided. The building was ancient and very interesting it appeared to be undergoing a long term restoration to a former glory. Great for short term stays
