The property was lovely and full of character The common areas where very comfortable and there was plenty of space. The young man who dealt with us could not have done more to make us feel welcome. The room had everything we needed. The only downside was the bed was lumpy and perhaps needed an upgrade, this did not spoil an otherwise enjoyable stay.
