I had a brilliant stay at the hotel! The rooms were really cold initially, but the large comfortable bed made up for it. Although I was prepared for a blank stare at the check-in time of 3, my overall experience was excellent, and I would definitely recommend this place.

The hotel provides stunning rooms with thoughtful amenities like a hidden fridge, tasty treats, dressing gowns, Sky TV, and fresh milk every morning. However, the morning noise from the kitchen area can impact early risers. The fresh milk delivery for coffee or tea is a lovely touch, adding to the spacious, clean, and well-supplied room.
