Rooms lovely and big, lean and cost. Restaurant was amazing. They accommodated us even though we arrived late. Will absolutely stay again. Only 4 stars as hotel is undergoing a huge renovation so it’s a bit strange as rooms are painted over and some areas a little temporary.

Great location and peaceful

Great location and peaceful. Great to have a restaurant, friendly staff and lovely food. Room did the job. It would be good to have the option of turning radiator off - even when off mine was still very hot, which I didn’t need. The window was open for the duration. The bathroom fan was noisy but ineffective and the towel rail didn’t work.
