Summary: Didnt have breakfast so can't comment. My stay was fabulous in every respect. Had a meal in restaurant yesterday. It was well presented, fairly priced and delicious.

Toni Jan 5, 2026 06:52:13 PM

Summary: Breakfast was good, nice enough selection. Bed was not very comfortable and this caused a struggle to sleep well. Room was cold at times and heater did not seem to heat the room or bathroom well. However, staff were very friendly. Overall for the price it was adequate, however i would not have paid more.

Amanda Jan 5, 2026 04:10:20 AM

Summary: Not sure why you have just asked me to rate the free breakfast - I paid for it extra with my booking. Service overall was very good. Shower tray leaked all over the bathroom floor as it all runs straight out.

Nick Dec 7, 2025 12:57:47 AM

Summary: The room was very spacious and homely, it felt like a lounge only with a double bed. The bed was extremely comfortable and I also appreciated having a bathtub available. There was plenty of storage space for clothers and other items (lots of drawers there). The staff were friendly and welcoming with an easy check-in.
