Fantastic Stay with Excellent Service!
friendly staff great facilities central location delicious breakfast
The staff was very accommodating and friendly. They contacted me in advance to discuss my accessibility needs. The room had great facilities and felt very comfortable (I was able to relax immediately!). The location was central, and I received clear instructions for the self-service check-in. The breakfast was freshly cooked, and the chef kindly accommodated my early schedule at 7am instead of 8am.
The stairs were slightly narrow, making it a bit awkward to carry luggage.

garden access breakfast choice self-service check-in
My ground floor room had garden access. It was convenient. The breakfast choices were excellent and plentiful. I really liked the self-service check-in. It was easy to follow..
The room was a bit noisy. I think it was due to water heating up.
