Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers modern amenities with spacious rooms overlooking the back car park and some lovely facilities. The service from the manager and owner showed genuine passion, although the noise from a busy road nearby was disruptive. The dining options were satisfactory but not exceptional.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with spacious rooms and a welcoming atmosphere. The friendly staff add to the positive experience, but the noise from the busy road nearby can be bothersome at night. The dining options are satisfactory but could be improved to enhance the overall experience.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were modern with spacious bathrooms and lovely amenities, but the view of the back car park from my two large windows was not ideal. The service was really good, with the manager and owner showing genuine passion, though I wish there had been more attention to housekeeping. The location had its ups and downs, being close to a delightful cafe recommended by the manager, but unfortunately near a noisy road that disturbed my sleep. The dining was satisfactory with some tasty grilled and boiled fish options. The facilities provided at the hotel were overall good, enhancing my stay.
