fantastic stay, was really good!

i was thrilled with my executive double room! the mini fridge was super useful for keeping my drinks cold. i especially appreciated the powerful shower, it made mornings so much better. the tea and coffee facilities meant i could always have a warm drink (perfect for a chilly evening!).
the bathroom could use a little attention to the bath and ceiling, but honestly, it didn't detract much from my otherwise wonderful visit.
