Jennie Jun 22, 2026 12:42:00 AM
Summary: I've never written a bad review before as I've never needed to but I felt I had to. It was the hottest day of the year. The fan that they supplied in our room was tiny and didn't work properly. There was also no air conditioning and the shower had 2 settings - scolding hot or off. It also broke in my hand. When we ate in the restaurant the food was lovely however we got given the food with no cutlery so had to wait for the waitress to go away and come back a few minutes later as our food was going cold.

Summary: Good breakfast, nice bar, free parking and lovely staff. Hotel full of old world charm. Easy to find. Decent room but ground floor and unfortunately the window was just inches away from a noisy beer garden, so had to keep curtains closed and didn’t get much peace.
