lovely hotel stay
friendly staff convenient parking soundproof windows thoughtful layout
the staff were really friendly and helpful throughout my stay i found the on-site parking very convenient and the location allowed easy access to nearby attractions the double-glazed windows provided good soundproofing and kept the room quiet despite the busy surroundings. i liked the ample space in my room and the thoughtful layout.
i noticed that the furniture showed some signs of wear and could benefit from updating but it didn't significantly detract from my overall positive experience.

charming stay!
stylish room big tv comfy bed fine location
The double room was gorgeous, it had a really good style with a big tv, a big bed and a modern bathroom. i totally loved the handmade products in the bedroom. It was huge and super comfy! the restaurant and bar area impressed me and the location seemed fine.
i believe we stayed in room 111, and the noise was awful. it was like a large door opening and shutting often.
