"Had a great stay. Will stay again. I chose a room with a bath and was delighted to see it was one of those tubs with a couple of steps inside to be able to sit, lay and stretch out. Sadly, my 'do not disturb' sign was missing, so I was woken earlier than I'd have liked on a Sunday - but in the scheme of things that is a small gripe in an otherwise lovely stay."
