Good intro upon arrival with a very friendly receptionist, although a bit information overload - almost forgot where room was by the time we’d been told everything else! Thankfully a map is provided as it seems a bit of a maze to begin with, but actually it’s not that hard to get around. Due to the age and the nature of the buildings there are a small staircases all over the place; not an issue if your mobility is ok - would be an issue for those requiring a more accessible place to stay.
We were in Room 201 - right above main entrance. Automatic door mechanism for the main door below was audible throughout the evening but wasn’t a problem at night. The bed was big with what felt like a very thin duvet for this time of year (late Oct) but I was actually over-hot in the room, so no drama there.
The room was itself was clean and well presented, but the furniture is a bit awkward, with a chair in front of the fridge. Didn’t use the TV so can’t comment on that. The bathroom was pretty small, but functional. Room service had forgotten to refill the shampoo, but I had my own in my wash bag, so not a problem. Didn’t really rate the shower gel etc. - there are much nicer smelling things in the supermarket than whatever brand it was.
The spa was really busy when we arrived at 16:30 so avoid peak hours. The steam room had an odd unpleasant smell, so didn’t spend long in there. Didn’t eat our evening meal here, but breakfast was good - but no black pudding or poached eggs :(
