Very cosy
Manager and staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Old property but managed well and my room was very clean and comfortable. Being an older property and it was -4 on one of the nights I stayed , it was a bit draughty despite the radiators being on full blast. There was an additional heater in the wardrobe which was very welcomed. Food was delicious on both evenings that I stayed there. I would definitely stay there again.
