Property was great, but the toilet layout was rough. Can't open and close the door with a human inside. Shower was ice cold.. everytime. Like cold!! Staff were lovely, and the room itself was great! Had everything we could possibly need. Definitely stay again... if even luke warm water.

Rather disappointed with some features/condition of the executive studio. Old style taps difficult to use, and two taps worn out and couldn't stop flowing. Couldn't get the plug to work in the sink so unable to wash dishes properly and the shaver point in the bathroom was faulty and not working.

Very friendly staff at reception. Room was nice & spacious. Partially refurbished but cabinetry a little tired. Very clean though. Exterior property/gardens could do with a little TLC
