"Perhaps I missed it in the listing but this lodging does not provide full serivces meaning we had to go to the store and buy our own toliet paper. Of course you can't buy less than a 4 pack and for a 4 night stay we only needed one extra roll leaving 3 full rolls behind that I am sure the property will use for other guests but make them buy more when they need more than one roll for their stay. To me this is a basic necessity that should be provided."

"A lovely hotel. The room was excellent and the on-site restaurant (not owned by the hotel) was equally excellent. I would have given it 5 stars but for the fact it was difficult to find anywhere to hand up our clothes after a very wet journey, there wasn't a grab handle in the shower (which I need) and as the hotel is encased in a large church and there was no external branding, we couldn't find it though it was right under our noses!"
