Stayed at this hotel with two friends who have been before. We both had the "dog friendly" accommodation as we each have two small dogs. Our room was good with a lovely, comfortable mattress and pillows. Bathroom was big and I, initially, did not realise it was a bathroom designed for the disabled. The toilet had no lid which I found very unpleasant. Also, in a reasonably upmarket hotel, I would hope to find a magnifying wall mirror. With poor eyesight, I had thought to bring my own but there was nowhere to stand it. The lighting was too poor in the bedroom. I queried the "no toilet seat" in reception
