Lovely bedroom and bathroom. We were very warm and comfortable. Would suggest install a small handrail when going up the two steps into the bathroom would be a great help for the less able bodied. Really enjoyed being there and hope to return.

Lovely hotel in a nice area serving really good food along with great staff. It would have been perfect apart from the size of the room that we were given. The room was clean although extremely small and it was difficult to move around in there. For the price of our stay I would have expected the room would have been much larger.

The staff were uniformly lovely. The place was spotlessly clean and tasteful. The room was very small and very hot and there was very loud music coming from the kitchen immediately below until nearly midnight.

Absolutely loved our stay, this is such a cosy hotel with beautiful decor, amazing food and fabulous staff. Wish we had stayed for more than one night! Lovely evening meal in the restaurant, and a great breakfast too. Excellent that you can choose from the breakfast menu and it’s all cooked fresh to order. The only very slight downside was the size of our room. We stayed with friends and both booked deluxe rooms. They were given Marvin and we had Magpie - this was much smaller despite being the same price, with no armchair or separate dressing table area. I think Magpie should be priced cheaper perhaps as a ‘standard’ room, although it was still perfect and had everything we needed! Would definitely stay again.
