Ok as a base
The staff were very friendly, and welcoming. The food was good; both breakfast, and the evening selection. The room was a little disappointing; it was not as clean as it could have been, with a few cobwebs in obvious places, and the bathroom was quite dusty, and one of the lights didn't work. In addition the plumbing was extremely noisy when other rooms adjacent were running hot water.
On the plus side the bed was very comfortable, and the bedding very clean. The room was very spacious.
