    Everything, location, food, staff very attentive, they changed our room to the ground floor due to mobility issues. The menus were full of a variety of foods to suit all tastes. Good choice on the breakfast menu

    The room was lovely, had a great shower and bath and the bed was reasonably comfortable (although on a bit of a slant, but difficult to fix in an old building). Breakfast was great and very friendly.
