charming stay

central locationrustic featuresbottled waterquality products

I enjoyed the central location. It was quite convenient. the traditional rustic features added character like the internal courtyard and original beams! i found thoughtful touches, like complimentary iced and bottled water. the high-quality showering products were also a nice surprise. we loved the well stocked bar, it was great.

the carpet leading to the rooms looked very tired. it didn't make a good first impression and the room wasn't any different. it could use a refurbishment to justify the price. the shower was also tiny.

Charming and Convenient Stay!!!

central locationcharming roomhelpful staffprovided essentials

The location is central. It is situated directly in town. The room was charming and also remained cool despite the outside heat. The staff members were helpful, offering assistance when needed. Everything I required was provided in the room.

The carpet leading up to the rooms was quite worn. It did not create a positive first impression.

The pub had a lovely atmosphere and attentive staff, offering a relaxed experience. While it closes relatively early, it presents an upmarket alternative to other establishments in the area, a great place for having a drink.

I found my room quite nice. It had plenty of space and good furnishings. The staff gave me advice on places for me to eat, I found that helpful.

The carpet up to the rooms looked very tired. It did not give a good first impression. The rooms need a refurbishment to justify the prices charged, in my opinion.
