the hotel staff were polite and friendly. breakfast had a fantastic menu and everything was cooked to perfection. lots of parking was nearby and i found it to be very peaceful.
the receptionist did not explain the current health and safety measures in place. the room was chilly until the heating came on at 17:30. i thought paying customers should be able to decide when the heat needs to be on.

Really good Hotel Experience

garden areanice decorationhelpful staffgreat facilities
The hotel comprises different areas designed to meet various guest needs. i stayed in the main building, which features a garden area. I imagine this is quite popular during peak season. the rooms feature nice decorations and include sufficient facilities for a short stay.. storage could be limited for longer stays. the staff members were friendly and very helpful throughout my experience.
i had a room on a high floor. i found the side window blind by the wardrobe was not fitted correctly. all night a street light shone in, impacting sleep quality.
