We are positively surprised after our stay. The room (though a small studio for me) was a good size, refreshed, clean and comfortable. Fantastic beds! Quiet and warm. Great location. I will recommend to friends, I will definitely come back in the future!

I stayed in a 3 bed room, 1 single & 1 double bed. The room was clean and tastefully decorated. Great hair dryer. Lovely big shower in the ensuite with lots of hot water. The little kitchenette was well equipped for size with cutlery crockery, glasses, kettle and cooker and sink. My only teeny weeny grumble was the tea, I prefer 'builder' type tea and the tea bags were a little weak for my liking.
