10/10 Excellent
"Staff as always polite, helpful and welcoming… The room itself could do with some updating, the toilet bowl could maybe do with some bleach and unfortunately couldn’t use shower as it was over the bath which I struggle with.. but it hasn’t stopped me staying and enjoying time out of everyday life!"
