missing fridge early noise
The room lacked a refrigerator something i now consider essential. also, early one morning i was disturbed by cleaning staff. They were quite loud outside my door at 7:30 am. i believe more consideration for sleeping guests is needed. the noise from a hoover being dragged across the wooden floors was not ideal. this overshadowed some of the positive aspects.

convenient location comfortable bed pleasant staff breakfast service
I found the location very convenient. It is in the village center. The room, a Beautiful Double Room, had a comfortable bed. I appreciated the sofa and sitting area in the room. Breakfast service was quick and staff were pleasant.
The car park was a little small. I had to park a short walk away and carry my bags to the hotel.
