i always heard good things about this place, but i was let down by the room. the room was really small for two persons. we struggled to move around our luggage and furniture. to get to the bathroom, we had to squeeze through a really narrow space.

The beds were very comfortable.
The room felt small. It seemed like a converted cupboard and that impacted our comfort. Reception staff mentioned it was one of their "small or cosy rooms".

i don't often write reviews but i must. the staff was superb with us even with a large group. they found space for us and provided excellent service. the braised beef sun roast was soft. the kids and adults were very happy!
the parking was somewhat limited given the number of guests, so arriving early is definitely recommended.
