Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean and the staff were very helpful. We stayed in the disabled access room which was very good. The only thing we would say is the the toilet is very low for a disabled person, even with the grab bars.
Don’t be afraid…it’s wider than it looks

Dyrt i forhold til prisen, frokodtopplegget sviktet.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a lovely spacious room with a comfortable bed, a bonus was the beautiful views of the river through the wide full height windows. Only downside was the lack of a cooked breakfast which is not available. There isn’t a table in the room so we had to sit on the single chair and blanket box to eat the cereals provided, not ideal when you want to fortify yourself for the SWCP walk. They also didn’t service the room which meant we had to wash the cereal bowls and cups in the bathroom sink and make our own beds!
