"The staff are very friendly here. Got a couple of free drink vouchers which were appreciated, and you can enjoy that drink by the fire in the dining room. Be aware the hotel has no elevator (which is very inconvenient) and the rooms don’t have air conditioning/heatpump. You need a degree to figure out how to operate the heater in the room, and I didn’t find it very good. If you visit in winter, I suggest taking the blanket out of the waredrobe and putting it on your bed as soon as you arrive. The wafer thin duvet & sheet won’t keep you warm. The bathrooms are also very old style (the hotel has a new name but has not been “upgraded”). That said, I found the shower really good and lovely big fluffy bath sheet towels which were amazing."

"This property is fine, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the availability at very short notice. The property has everything that you would need and is reasonably good value, but hidden costs for linen and cleaning push up the overall cost and bring that closer to more " expensive" properties that don't charge for basics like linen."
