I am partially disabled and the staff on my checking in did not hesitate to carry my luggage to my room and again the following morning carry my luggage to my car. At breakfast (a delicious full English) the staff were equally helpful in seeing me comfortably seated at the breakfast table. In all a very pleasant experience.

Breakfast was very good. The room was very comfortable, although my tall husband needed to duck to get into the bathroom and he got it wrong one time.
