8.8/10 Excellent! (251 reviews)

A wonderful stay with fantastic staff! We had a lovely two-night stay at this small hotel. The staff truly made our visit special—they were incredibly nice and welcoming. We ended up eating at the restaurant for both of our dinners, and the breakfast each morning was very good. Our bedroom was large and featured an amazing shower. I also really liked that the rear car park is closed and secure at night. There was a little bit of noise from the water pipes in our room, but it was a minor issue and certainly wouldn't put us off coming back. We would gladly stay here again!
