I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was well organized with a good variety, though it could be healthier and served hotter. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would stay here again.

Room was very clean. Morning staff very friendly....evening staff, not so much. Continental breakfast was great, nice variety and fresh. Extra points for the waffles. Thank you for being pet friendly and allowing dogs, big bonus. Maybe have a designated area clearly marked outside for pets to go. We weren't sure where to go or not go....ended up guessing and hoping for the best. I'd stay here again. Lovely place. Nice pub attached to hotel. Food was great and huge portions.
