Dianne and Joanne greeted me warmly, a very happy welcome indeed. The restaurant staff offered excellent service. The food was also excellent. The room was very comfortable, with adequate space.
The room was quite cold, and I struggled to get the lamps working. This meant I needed to keep the bright ceiling lights on, not ideal. there was no drinking glass for water.
