clean sheet clean bath towel good stock open fire
The room was fresh with lovely clean sheets. the bath towels were equally clean. i found a nice selection of teas and coffee in the room. the bar had a good stock and reasonable prices. Sitting by the open fire with wine was nice.
The carpet on the staircase felt a bit worn. I almost caught my shoe. the garden outside looked a little scruffy and unwelcoming.

Staff was friendly. The location was near the canal. The room was clean. On-site parking added convenience. I was grateful for a phone message detailing access after hours, as my arrival was delayed until 2 am. A key was left in my room. I found my room comfortable. I will return.
