Lovely place with great staff. Room comfortable and breakfast great. Location and parking all good. Only issue is that the top floor is accessed by a flight of small steep stairs, not a problem unless you are ageing or have heavy bags. Other than that very nice, would return… but not to the top floor.

Nice property. The day of our checkout we had to leave the place quite early so we asked to get breakfast before 8.30AM. No chance. Breakfast opens at 8.30 and not one minute before. No exceptions.
