The bedroom windows need maintenance/repair. The pair in our room would not close or open completly making the room noisy and cold on windy nights. Also windows need to be fully function as they could be a way of escaping a fire if necessary.

As mentioned in other reviews, the shower room needs some attention - damp means that neither door can be closed properly which is a bit of a privacy issue. Lovely welcome pack which was appreciated, thank you

Lovely hot shower and the heating was also very responsive and warm. The welcome pack was very thoughtful. We really enjoyed our stay and intend to book another visit.
