A bit hit and miss, staff were super friendly but hotel is very dated, didn't opt for breakfast but looked like something out of Captain Scott's era himself, room was very comfortable, albeit difficult to get the temperature down via the Aircon, bathroom was fine, everything worked, although there was a dubious stain on one of the bed throws but I assumed positive intent on this occasion.
