A chef's culinary artistry!

high professionalismexcellent flavorssmall room

The hotel staff demonstrated a high level of professionalism. All interactions were polite. The chef is really good and visited our table. The flavors were excellent, and it reminded me of dining in a Michelin-star restaurant.

The room lacked space around the bed. I had no bedside table on my side. Balancing my water bottle became necessary. I had to use the main light because there was no reading light.

Rooms

Our room included a large bed and stylish decor. The Family Room had sufficient space for a small family. The room was very clean upon arrival. The decoration was beautiful.

The staff was attentive, cute, and accommodating to all our needs. They allowed us to dine at a very late hour. Every member of the restaurant and hotel staff was professional. They are excellent people.

Location

The hotel is a short drive to the train station. The building is built in a Victorian-style. The seafront is only a short walk. The hotel is located near many attractions.

the staff was really good, with harrison deserving special thanks for his excellent helpfulness. breakfast was lovely, and the room felt light and spacious. i appreciated the pre-booked parking right at the door, even though it was a tight squeeze. our room on the first floor suited our one-night stay perfectly, especially since it was near the shore.

the bar closed earlier than expected, a slight disappointment after returning from town.
