Glad I didn’t have luggage with me, as there was no where to put it, in fact , no where to put anything, and the weirdest wardrobe I’ve ever seen. In a small space above the kettle and the iron, so every time your kettle boils, your cloths get steamed too. A rail just above.

The cottage at the hotel was great for us as a family of 5. It meant we had plenty of space but also use of hotel facilities as well - best of both worlds.

Bed very uncomfortable, like sleeping on a slab, room decor was a bit tired, bathroom was very small, water pressure in the shower was poor and the sink was about the size of a soup bowl. The staff were very nice and breakfast was pretty good. Wouldn't visit again.
