We had a two night stay. The room was clean, good size room and comfy bed.

The bathroom was a little tired but functioned well.

Location was perfect for us. Comfortable room. Nice staff with a great atmosphere. Super gardens with lovely hanging baskets etc.

Parts of room were a bit scruffy. Paint peeling, broken tiles, loose headboard, skirting round bath split and dirty. Breakfast starts at 0930?- blimey, that's nearly lunchtime. Don't let any of this detract from the fact that this hotel is friendly and attractive. It just needs a makeover in Tawney Owl room. Morning staff said it was due to be decorated.

La stanza è spaziosa e con una bella illuminazione, c' è una finestra da poter aprire e i letti sono comodi

Il bagno, lavandino piccolissimo e pub chiuso sia a cena che colazione

Not good option in summer

Friendly and helpful staff

Rooms were very hot with no air conditioning and little ventilation during few very hot days. Bright lights just outside only window makes it difficult to sleep.
