The hotel exceeded our expectations with a spacious and clean room, although it was sparsely furnished and quite far from the main areas. The staff was friendly, but we had an unfortunate experience with noise from a nearby pub and missed our favorite show due to a channel not working. Overall, great value for the price, but a few drawbacks with the location and some disturbances.

The hotel had a spacious room that featured beautiful antique furnishings, which made for a cozy and unique atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to assist us, but the service could have been better as they struggled with restaurant recommendations.

Overall, it offered decent value for money, though the dining experience left a bit to be desired with limited choices.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was a bit mixed. The location was decent, with some great restaurants nearby, but I didn't feel entirely safe walking around after dark. The room I stayed in wasn't very impressive and had a dirty toilet upon check-in, so that was a letdown. On a positive note, the service was remarkable, especially the breakfast that I truly enjoyed, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, with spacious rooms that were perfect for unwinding after a long day. The staff was friendly, but they weren't super helpful in finding open restaurants during the lockdown. The location is a bit remote from the highway which made it slightly inconvenient. Overall, it's reasonably priced, but I believe there’s room for improvement in several areas.
