    slow service
    food errors
    lack of attention

    The staff were genuinely friendly and maintained a calm demeanor despite a room issue, which showcased their commitment to guest care. The Superior Double Room was unexpectedly pleasant, but service at dinner fell short—our drinks took half an hour, and the food order was delayed. A salad request was mishandled, highlighting a need for better attention to detail in the dining experience.

    Solo traveler finds hidden gems

    The food was outstanding, especially these crispy chicken wings that had such a kick to them. Plus, the staff went out of their way, like when Ewan, the waiter, surprised us with a complimentary dessert plate for our anniversary — it was a nice touch.

    delicious breakfast
    lovely garden
    outdated decor

    I really enjoyed my stay, especially the delicious breakfast with fresh fruit salad and the lovely rhubarb juice. The garden was a perfect spot to unwind, and the outdoor patio provided a nice place to relax after a long day. Just a heads-up, the room decor could use a bit of updating, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience! 🌼

    hot breakfast

    Recommend it for those needing a cozy stay

    The staff here are really amazing. Breakfast was served hot and the local recommendations from staff were spot on.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain but still acceptable for what we got.

    The hotel had a nice courtyard setting, which was lovely, but the room cleanliness could have been better. The staff were friendly and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant experience overall. Breakfast was good, but the shower pressure left much to be desired.
