Terrible restaurant
I had dinner included with 30£ allowance. I ordered 2 beers and they charged 19£ which really overpriced! The breakfast was real disaster. You can order just English breakfast which is included. Anything else is for extra charge. So you have no choice. The staff was unprofessional and had problem to understand English.

Absolutely luxurious stay! They thought of everything with no detail left unchecked including doggie treats, bowls, doggie bed and blanket as well as complimentary Nespresso coffee machine with coffee pods. The absolute best! And the bed? Best sleep ever!😌 Soft luxurious cotton and duvet upon duvet piled on top, felt like sleeping on clouds☺️ Room was warm, cosy, modern with a luxurious vintage theme, sparkling clean with all the expected amenities including smart TV. Large clean Bathroom room with lots of luxury towels and spa quality toiletries 🤩😍 I really could go on...I've stayed in a lot of hotels and this is BY FAR the absolute best and worth every single penny! Oh and the staff are so lovely 🤗 and accomodating to your needs. Perfect hotel and perfect stay! I can't bloody wait to go back there again 🙌

Cute hotel with friendly staff and spacious rooms
We needed to be in the area and found this hotel to be in the perfect location. It’s in a really quaint area with some nice looking shops, restaurants and cafes although we didn’t go in any. The staff were all very friendly and the room was spacious. They were really accommodating of my dog and it was nice quiet so he didn’t get spooked by noises. My only one little niggle was that there was no fridge, but the staff stored my dogs food. If I needed to be in the area again I’d stay here
