Reviews and Ratings
The hotel exceeded my expectations with well-presented rooms and a warm and functional executive king room. The ample free parking and fast internet were a bonus, along with the friendly staff and lovely gardens. However, there were some service issues to be aware of.
The hotel's location is convenient for those with dogs but may not be suitable for light sleepers due to noise from the adjacent boiler room. The rooms smelled of stale water initially but improved after ventilation. The hotel is isolated from main attractions but offers a quick room turnover for breakfast.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had nice decor but limited views and ventilation. There was a mix-up with the room type and missing advertised amenities. The service was excellent with friendly and efficient staff. The location offered enjoyable surroundings but limited transport options. The dining experience had highs and lows.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The room was spacious and beautifully finished but uncomfortably hot. The service was hit or miss, with some staff being rude while others were friendly. The location was fantastic with some privacy concerns. Dining was a mixed experience, and the facilities were adequate.
The hotel offers large and spacious rooms but needed more blankets as it got a bit chilly at night. Service staff were considerate and polite, though they seemed unaware of the area for recommendations.
The hotel was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated for Christmas.
