"The room was really nicely decorated and practical. We did notice the heating wasn't working but after messaging the team they responded really fast and when they realised they couldn't fix it that evening, offered us a different room (with a sea view!) which was absolutely no hassle to us and we were impressed by the efficiency and thoughtfulness of the staff. Would definitely come back or recommend to a friend :)"
