Very nice hotel, in a very nice setting. Note that there is no dining option, but a very nice pub 10 minutes walking away makes up for it. Breakfast was awesome. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Room clean, comfortable, quiet. We'll come back!

We have stayed here before and had very good experiences. Our room this time was a little disappointing as the water pressure was very poor making it difficult to have a shower. The bathroom door was very squeaky which was annoying when sleeping. Breakfast was better than most hotels offer and the staff was very pleasant.
