charmed by the peaceful stay

comfortable roomhelpful staffpeaceful settingrecreation room
I appreciated the very very comfy and tidy room! the breakfast was quite ample and the staff were helpful, a really wonderful experience. the setting is peaceful and green. I walked a lot on the nearby racecourse, it was very enjoyable. i also found the recreation room useful. It had games and a tv for family entertainment.
The automatic lights in the bathroom were quite disruptive, especially as the bathroom was near a bed. It did wake me up during the night!

the location was good, the wifi strong and the breakfast was also very good with variety. i liked the location off the main road because it was quiet. there was plenty of parking and benches outside, so that's nice.
people Banging doors as they left and re-entered their rooms. the doors are dense and they make a deafening crash sound when closed. this happened regularly and it made getting to sleep difficult.

The staff were helpful. The breakfast was good.
The walls seemed thin, so I heard a lot of noise. Other guests were loud at late hours. (I was woken up several times!) The heating was not working correctly in the room. I had to ask for a radiator.
