The hotel is truly a hidden gem with its spacious and modern rooms featuring king-size beds and incredible baths, but the lack of an accessible bathroom was a drawback. The service was exceptional, especially from the diligent housekeeping staff. The location was ideal for strolling into town or visiting the main pub, although being right in the town center made it a bit noisy. The dining experience offered delightful regional jams, but there were occasional issues with the price not reflecting the value provided. The facilities were top-notch, catering to every need with a touch of luxury.

The hotel is a cozy gem with a lovely pub nearby, making it a great spot to explore the town. The rooms are equipped with an amazing bath and good facilities, offering a comfortable king-size bed for a restful stay. The service, particularly housekeeping, was top-notch, ensuring a pleasant experience. However, the dining experience lacked variety, especially in peanut butter options. The location is ideal, being very close to the vibrant town center. Overall, a charming place offering good value for money.
