Lovely place to stay!

Every aspect from the staff, to the food, to the added extra of the outdoor pool were fantastic! The hotel is on a busy road, so we thought perhaps the noise would cause an issue but we couldn’t hear it from our room. It’s an absolute little gem and we will happily return.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I couldn’t fault the service nor the food or drinks. They were definitely what made the experience more comfortable than not however when I stay in hotels I tend to look at the bathroom for the most details. The only issue I found was the shower units not being tall enough and the fact that the water run out the shower effortlessly. Other than that, I can’t fault it any other way and would happily stay there for another night or two.

Unfortunately the accomodation room we were given was not what we were expecting. It was in an older building and needed updating. We informed reception of our disappointment when we left and was advised that the rooms in the main building had been recently decorated and updated which obviously were the ones we had seen on the website. However,the food was excellent,staff were very welcoming and we would stay again.
