good size warm room loads of choice basic double room room leak
The breakfast had loads of choice. The single room was a good size and warm. The outlook was VERY pleasant.
The room I had booked to pamper myself was unavailable because of a leak. I was given a basic double room that was small and dingy. It was really disappointing.
