Peaceful Oasis Close to Transport
breakfast optionscharming groundsfirm mattressmissing television
I found various breakfast options. Gluten-free diets were well-catered for with many choices. The baby grand piano was available for use and grounds were great for running. The receptionist offered superb kindness. The bed was comfortable with a firm mattress and pillows. I slept very well.
The absence of a television in the room was unexpected, particularly considering the price. It would have been nice to have that entertainment option available. This is not acceptable for a hotel, as televisions are standard.

The location was very convenient. I was very close to Limehouse station and that offered excellent travel links. The grounds were nice. The staff was friendly and cute.
My shower room needed redecorating. The paint was peeling and the wood around shower and pipe work was bare.
