Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was much nicer than the advertised picture on the website, recently redecorated and had beautiful, welcoming rooms. However, the rooms were a little on the small side for those like us who seem to take the kitchen sink on holiday and weren't next to the late night entrance, leading to disturbances at night.
For our anniversary stay, the hotel proved to be a perfect choice. The rooms were clean, beds comfy, and bathrooms very well-equipped, making our experience truly enjoyable. However, being closer to the landing and nearer to the car park could be a downside.
