helpful staff packed lunch excellent food gluten-free breakfast dairy-free breakfast poor quality breakfast
the staff was lovely and helpful! the hotel has everything you might need. the food was excellent i would definitely visit again? you can ask for a packed lunch and a flask of drink if you want to spend the day out on the hill.
requesting a gluten and dairy free breakfast well in advance and being told 'we'll try' but no actual adjustment had been made? having to eat breakfast in our room where there was no proper place to sit down and eat for 2. only a pathetic pre-packaged poor quality breakfast was available! delivered the night before to outside our room.

charmed stay

clean room friendly staff
the room was lovely and super clean. Staff were both friendly and helpful. the meals in the dining room tasted beautifully cooked and looked well presented.
the music from downstairs was blaring all day and night at full volume, even my tv couldn't mask it. i opened the window because it was a nice day but this made the music louder. the smell of frying filled my room all night and then from early morning.

The staff was friendly and helpful. Check-in was seamless, with a staff member actually escorting me to my room. The remodeled bathrooms included good features, and breakfast was conveniently brought to my room each morning. Good parking was available behind the building. This was a great convenience.
