Lovely and clean, our room was cleaned and towels changef every day, unfortunately that wasn't the case for the other room I booked for a family member. Couldn't fault breakfast, catered for everyone and even cooked items that weren't on the menu. I would definitely go there again. Small hotel and quiet

Very impressive

The room was beautiful with a surprise concealed bed feature. At first we thought we only had a living room area, but then there was a button which brought a bed down from the ceiling, incredible. Everything was clean and beautiful. A lovely stay!

We really enjoyed this hotel. The room was spacious and the shower was great. The”spa” area is rather small, basically only a sauna, and you need to let them know an hour in advance if you wish to use it. Pretty close to the tourist part of town so we walked most of the time.
