the staff provided excellent service . they were always available and ready to help with any requests. the room was also very quiet at night, ensuring a restful sleep. i liked that the hotel offered safe off-road parking.
the bathroom extractor fan was not working, a bit inconvenient. the shower screen lacked a proper seal, so water easily splashed onto the bathroom floor.

Charming Hotel with Excellent Service

nice stafflovely fooddecorated roompeeling wallpaper
The staff are really nice. The food was lovely and i was very welcomed. The team looked after us so well for my special birthday treat. They had decorated our room, a very lovely surprise.
The decor is outdated, and it would be fine if it was still in good condition, but the wallpaper in our room was peeling. The wardrobe door did not shut properly. The mattress was also quite uncomfortable.
