Wasnt much more than a taxi home , so decided to stay over , ive stayed here before when it was connected to mannings , they have done a very lovely refurb , the breakfast room is light and airy with a fabulous supply of bits and bobs , the only thing that let them down was the shower room but there is little they could do to update that without spending silly money
