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.

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,
