8/10 Very good

Pleasant but we wouldn't go back
Overall pleasant stay but the bed was very soft leading to not a great nights sleep. Few annoying things design wise like only having plug sockets on one of the bed and no shower head in the bath. Also our room had a really terrible view of a flat grey roof with floodlights that never went off but thankfully the blackout curtains did a.good job once we managed to line them up properly.
