Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Nice clean room and comfortable bed. The 1851 bar had amazing food and service
The location was an easy walk from the town centre. The staff were really good, especially in the breakfast room where we arrived just as they were packing up. They still provided us with an excellent breakfast. The room was spacious & comfortable. There is no air conditioning which meant we had the windows open and the noise from outside was loud. The pool & gym onsite we’re both excellent.
