Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent location, delicious breakfast options, and friendly, attentive staff. Many enjoyed the views and the atmosphere, as well as the comfort of the rooms and the bar. However, several guests noted issues with parking availability, small or cramped rooms, and occasional lapses in service or cleanliness.

Paul, Oct 2017
Pros (+) First impression was good but soon went tumberling down . We were given a double room on the ground floor, in fact it was up 2flights of stairs and at the rear of the building. We went in my god it was more a child's room than a double. So we went to get moved and had to pay an extra £25 for a bigger room. Caution there is no lift in the main hotel .
Cons (-) Overall it was a nice hotel but God the rooms need an upgrade to the 21 st Centry .
