Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Lovely location, friendly helpful staff.
Negative: The room was quite chilly when the weather dropped, the radiator didn't seem to get that warm. We had to use an electric plug in one which was a nuisance when arriving back in from the cold to find you had to wait for the room to reheat to get warm.
Summary: Nice location
