quiet location and excellent service
friendly staff tasty food comfortable bed
i recently enjoyed a short stay. the staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly beatrice at reception who gave great local tips (i needed those!). the food was tasty. the room decor was lovely and the bed was comfortable.
the hotel is a little hard to find without satnav. i spent about an hour trying to locate it using just a map. the shower had only a curtain instead of a screen (unexpected for the price).

convenient location onsite parking wide selection small room high television limited channel
The location proved really convenient, with easy access to transport links. I found parking on-site to be a great benefit. The breakfast offered a wide selection, and the food was AMAZING!!!
The room I had was quite small. The television was also mounted rather high on the wall. Limited channels were available on the television.
