Wonderful Stay!

friendly stafflovely decorcold room
I enjoyed the hotel. The staff was super great. The hotel had lovely decor, with home made brownies that were nice. Breakfast was delicious and included many options.
My room was too cold. The radiator worked a bit, but it did not affect the temperature. Some extra thought to heating is needed, especially in winter.

Charming Find

beautiful beddingnice bathroom productseasy locationfine dining room
The room was utterly beaut. I stayed in Girl. It had beautiful bedding and fixtures plus nice products in the bathroom. Location on the High Street makes it easy for shopping. The breakfast was amazing. Each morning was delicious, and the dining room is fine. It had calm vibes and newspapers.
Our room, Sorrow, felt really cramped. The decor was gloomy and looked damp. It was not finished. There was no room for clothing. We had to put the suitcase on the bed to open it. A constant unpleasant smell of drains came up.
Rooms

The room offered a unique design with well-chosen decor. Bedding featured premium linens, and the en-suite bathroom included complimentary toiletries and a powerful shower. This.

Breakfast service was attentive, and the menu included both continental and cooked-to-order options. A newspaper selection was available. The dining area presented stylish furnishings and ample natural light. It provided a very nice start to the morning.
