Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms that are comfortable, clean, and warm, although the setup for ironing required moving furniture. The service is excellent, with attentive staff going above and beyond to assist guests. The location is ideal for an overnight stay, with convenient access to dining options. The dining experience is impressive, particularly with a dedicated breakfast chef, although a flat ambiance was noted. The hotel facilities are well-maintained and enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were in need of a little TLC, they were clean and comfortable, providing all the essentials. However, there was a lingering damp smell throughout, which was a downside. The service was generally great, with friendly staff, but some small issues like items not being replaced or orders forgotten detracted slightly. The location was suitable for specific needs but not ideal for easy access to town. Dining was a pleasant experience, especially the evening meals, but lacked some local information. Overall, the hotel offered a warm and homely atmosphere with fine food, making it exceptional in some aspects.
