Great stay - in particular, the barman (Zack) was excellent and a good ambassador for the hotel and the brand. All staff we friendly and the hotel was convenient to the old town. The breakfast at £24 pp was a little expense and hence we had breakfast outside of the hotel, aside from this, it was an excellent stay

Average Hotel

Hotel is in a fantastic location, however it is a little tired, the car park is not very large and hard to get in and out of, overall it is just an average hotel with a large nightly fee.

A real find

Recently renovated historic property in stunning Windsor Park setting. Superb staff who are extremely warm and helpful - going far beyond the hospitality of good hotels. Rooms were very comfortable although it could be a bit warm (given unusually warm weather and a lack of ac, something typical in the area). The biggest disadvantage is the steep stairs to access the rooms, although the staff readily assist guests with luggage. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and the atmosphere of the outdoor patio enchanting.

Charming hote

Very friendly and helpful staff, couldn't do enough for us. Beautiful room. Would have liked more vegetables dishes on the menu plus a choice of breakfast prices. I'm not a big eater and would just have had some yoghurt and a couple of croissants, which I felt was not worth £24. Evening meal was delicious and puddings lovely.
