Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Location , parking , room was lovely & private garden was very nice

Negative: More ambience needed , was cold in lounge area & Milly restaurant which was off putting whilst having a meal felt we was just shoved in there no ambience & all the noise from the bar ie drinks machine etc & all doors open so really draughty & noise from reception not quite the romantic meal we was expecting Breakfast is strange have to do your own toast with toasters & butter & jam them at the serving table with no small pots to take to your table whilst your doing that your hot breakfast is getting cold on the table !

Summary: Nice ! but come be so much more with thought out changes
