The ambiance and area where the hotel is situated was quiet and tranquil, which helped towards a comfortable stay. Helpful and friendly staff on hand. However the stairs up to the room can be a little narrow and the room itself was too small. A standard room in a budget hotel like Travelodge or Premier Inn feels much bigger and spacious than our room. Overall, I would consider staying again – but ideally in a larger room.

All areas were very clean, staff pleasant and food very good. One disappointing area, was the size of the double room, bed small and the mattress very uncomfortable. Overall a nice hotel.
