The bed is only 2 feet from the door. Not spacious. Advertised as combined bath& shower, no bath emerged. TV difficult to operate. The staff were excellent, helpful & professional.

Small room but well appointed. Very spacious and modern bathroom. Just down the hill from the high street, making the hotel quiet but well located. Beautiful pub below with great outdoor and indoor spaces.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Top level floors have rooms with slanted ceilings. This takes up air space and makes those rooms a bit awkward to move. The tanks up there make loud noises when filling too. May be a more pleasant stay if you book rooms on the 1-2 floor. Nice bar/brunch area downstairs and friendly staff. Near downtown.
