Nice place and lovely reception lady

Really can’t fault the stay! We are very happy and will book here again at our next return!

10.0

It was clean and everything was there! It was unmanned service when we arrived but was easy to follow the instructions to get the room key. The room was warm and comfy but a little small. Can’t complain for the price paid for it though. Will definitely be back again!

It had the central heating, which maybe on timer. It came and went.

10.0

Good location, well kept, fantastic decor, wonderful feline host - who has a great rapport with the constant flow of guests.

Minimal quirk: was a little bit confusing trying to get the extractor fan working - did not realise it detected when to turn itself on

Excellent

10.0

11 out of 10 points for interior design. Smart and creative. The room was clean and comfortable, larger than I expected. Bathroom is clean as well. Haven't use any of common areas much, but it looks really impressive and well cared. Very impressed.

Nothing to complain about.
