Lovely place, rooms could use an update but for what it’s worth it’s cozy and easily accessible from either the main road or the short walk through the backroads. Excellent location as there’s a nice quiet 10-15 minute walk to the city centre.

D, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great welcome and a lovely stay, helpful staff, very nice room and the breakfast was lovely.
Alison, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

An aging property going under refurbishment. We stayed in a pet friendly large upgraded room, with a view of the front garden. The hotel is set back from the main road, so very peaceful. Within a 10 min walk of the city, so an excellent location. We thought the price per night on a BH weekend was competitive, which included a good breakfast and free parking, which many of the other hotels charge for, these days. Very welcoming and friendly staff.
PHILIP, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely stay, breakfast was agreeable.
Denise, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

One side of the property is very dates, we had a family room basically in the loft with no AC or fridge, it was 40 degrees in our room and we could barely sleep. Next night we changed rooms to a newly renovated room and it was way nicer and more modern. Staff were friendly and helpful and understood our concern and we had no problem switching rooms. Nice new bar area and a place outside to enjoy a beverage
Mark, 2-night trip
