The room was lovely, a superior double room. it was super clean and had such a cute feel. breakfast each morning was like a tender gift. It was delicious.

One small hiccup involved the heating. It proved tricky to manage. i also found that one bedside table lamp lacked a bulb. It was a minor inconvenience.

really good dining and restful stay

spacious room comfortable bed

my room was spacious and provided everything i needed. the bed was comfortable, allowing me a good night's sleep! the bathroom had an excellent shower along with beautiful towels and toiletries.

One bedside table lamp lacked a bulb. there was insufficient milk provided for hot drinks. the cold buffet at breakfast was limited, and i think some fruit would have been nice.

the hotel is right on a very busy main road, that is true. the front door of the restaurant and bar opens directly onto the road. noise was not too bad in the bedroom, however.
