Comfortable and Full of Charm

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel has a touch of old-fashioned charm while still offering all the modern comforts. The room was spotless, cozy, and well equipped with a refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker, and an in-room safe. The grab-and-go breakfast was a nice bonus, making mornings quick and easy. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the atmosphere made me feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a bit of classic charm!

Nice and clean, comfy, but in need of updates.

The room was clean and very comfortable, however could use a lot of updates. Felt like back in the 70s or 80s from the furnishings and definitely needs new flooring and bathroom update. Grab and go breakfast had lots of options!

Clean and comfortable

Large comfortable room with big bed. Our first floor room overlooked the car park at the back of the hotel with sliding doors to outside sitting area. Very clean. We used the outside pool which was a lovely temperature. Breakfast was basic but ok for us to start the day. Only downside was that our room was almost opposite the communal breakfast room which was ok on the first night as the hotel was fairly quiet and no-one used it. On the second morning we were woken up before 7am by loud voices of lots of people getting up and having breakfast early together in the communal dining room before catching their coach. They were very loud! I guess in high season this could be a problem if you are in the rooms nearby.
