Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which is tucked away in a fantastic location surrounded by shops and dining options. The rooms were comfortable and nicely decorated, but a bit noisy at times. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making the experience even better. While the dining options were decent, I felt they could improve the breakfast selection. Overall, it felt like great value for money, with a few minor areas for improvement.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is nestled in a beautiful, quiet area away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are spacious and come with a stunning view of the garden, not to mention the charming four-poster bed. The staff was incredibly friendly, making me feel welcomed right from the start. However, the breakfast could definitely use more variety, and although the pool was nice, it wasn't as relaxing as I had hoped due to the occasional noise from nearby guests.
The hotel has a charming setting with a lovely conservatory that overlooks the garden. The room I stayed in was truly comfortable and had a fabulous view of the garden, alongside a cozy four-poster bed. However, the dining options were somewhat underwhelming, particularly if you’re looking for variety in breakfast. Overall, it’s a solid choice for those seeking a peaceful escape with good value for money.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, as it was in a great location close to the shops and local attractions. The rooms were fresh and comfortable, with lovely views of the garden. The service was friendly, but I felt the dining options could use some improvement, particularly for breakfast. Overall, it was a good value for money, though some amenities were lacking.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The location is great, really close to different sites of interest, and the rooms are comfortable with nice views over the garden.

All in all, it’s good value for money, but there are a few areas that need improvement.
