Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms, despite being slightly dated, were comfortable and very clean. The service by the new owners was very welcoming and the central location made it convenient to explore the surrounding areas. The dining experience was decent, though a bit slow for larger groups. The facilities met my needs adequately.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were well-decorated and had nice amenities like tea, coffee, and biscuits. The breakfast and evening meals were excellent. However, the single glazing made the room a bit noisy at times. The staff was welcoming and friendly, making my visit enjoyable.
