Good

Liked: The room was good, nice and warm, as the day we arrived was cold and wet it was nice to come into a warm room
Disliked: No cover from rain when going to toilet, and light in courtyard could have been turned off a bit earlier as it shone into our room until 1am

Very good

Liked: The displayed history of the gaol together with quality renovation made exloring the buildings very interesting. Electric blankets and 'cell' heaters made bedrooms cosy during our cold winter stay.
Disliked: A working heater in the family lounge would have made time there much more comfortable.
