Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very friendly welcome. Room had everything we needed. Only downside was we were in a ground floor room (as requested) and there was some noise from the room above. Also, being next to the stairs we got some noise from people going up and down the stairs. Location is excellent, lots of amenities within walking distance.

This was a nice clean and safe room with ensuit bathroom and was walking distance to good restaurant options. The water from tap initially smelled a bit sulfury but it went away eventually. Parking was a little snug.

Castle vibr

A good place to stay. It does feel like a castle. It has lots of slate and narrow windows and a welcoming vibe. A country castle rather than a glitzy palace, I loved it here,
