a bit underwhelming

acceptable breakfasttoiletries shelfmany stairs
the breakfast was acceptable nothing special though
my room felt unfinished it lacked a shelf in the shower for toiletries also there was no toilet roll holder next to the toilet it was just a bit inconvenient this reminded me of a strange oversight i had to reach around after using the facilities the hotel is a castle so there are many stairs to negotiate making it unsuitable for people with mobility issues

Really good Food and Service

nice locationlovely roomgood breakfastfriendly staff
I found the location really nice and the room lovely. Breakfast was good and I appreciated the reception calling to inform me my room was available for check in a few hours early. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay and the dinner was really good too.
The shampoo and body lotion provided in the room were not quite enough for my needs so I requested additional amenities.
