The rooms are equipped with all necessary facilities for disabled individuals, but the bathroom could use some improvements. The service is attentive and provides convenient options for car hire and laundry services. The dining experience may not be to everyone's liking due to the limited menu options, but the cream cakes are a delightful treat.
