charmed by the peaceful stay

comfortable room helpful staff peaceful setting recreation 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!

strong wifi varied breakfast ample parking banging door deafening crash sleep difficulty

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.

thin walls faulty heating

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.
