"Beds comfortable, beautiful crisp white sheets, linen clean. Nice shower pressure and hot, the room was tired looking, but very clean. Could have done with a small dining table to eat at but this wasn't the end of the world as there was a wee coffee table. The rooms were clean and tidy, but the walls could have done with a wipe down, to remove some marks, as it made the place look tired."
