Reviews and Ratings
The breakfast and overall food experience was superb, making it a delightful stay.
The location was convenient for my needs, and the service provided by the courteous staff was superb. The dining experience was tasty but with limited options. However, the Friday night noise in the pub garden was a downside.
Despite the lack of communication before our stay and the impersonal check-in process, the room was spacious with a charming balcony and provided privacy for two people sharing. The service was exceptional, especially considering the staff's long hours. However, the remote location made transportation a challenge.
