    The bed was a bit soft (I know it's a personal thing) I asked for an off the menu; tomato and mushroom omelette for breakfast. It was nice, but made with cheese, which I didn't ask for. But other than that breakfast options were really good.

    Location, price, friendly staff.

    It is a very old building, but it felt weird to walk across the floor, sloping down quite sharply towards the bathroom as it did. Made one feel drunk even when sober! Lol The room also stayed quite bright at night mainly due to the two green fire exit lights that lit the room.

    Breakfast was well cooked, with a nice choice for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Beds were comfortable, although I found the 'summer weight ' quilt far too warm and slept with just the cover over me. Room was quite warm with only a small window. I liked that you were able to help yourself to fresh milk, bottled water, and tea, coffee and sugar at any time, and without feeling like you had to keep asking, as in some other hotels.

    The room was very hot and humid with only one small window, however there were fans provided which was a great help. Found a hair in one of the coffee cups.

    The room was superb with a gorgeous spa bath for relaxation. The room was a very good size with a nice comfy bed and lots of pillows. Free Prosecco on arrival.

    One night another room were quite loud and seemed intoxicated, didn’t need to be up too early the next day thankfully. Staff very apologetic about the disturbance.

    Quiet little gem. Very clean. Plenty of stock of tea/coffee etc. lovely shower! Good size & comfortable

    There was nothing to not like, this hotel is definitely worth the visit. Everything was fabulous.

    The staff are lovely, friendly and go above and beyond to ensure you have the perfect stay. The hotel is modern, bright and the rooms provide a luxurious feel. The restaurant service was exceptional with the food to match. We stayed in the phoenix suit with it's fabulous double sunken spa bath gave that extra special feel to our stay. We celebrated a birthday and our wedding anniversary whilst on our stay and the staff dressed the bed with petals and complimentary prosecco. They also gave us a congratulations card and another bottle of complimentary prosecco to celebrate our anniversary. The staff do so much more than just host, they make your stay the best it possibly can be. The breakfast menu has lots of options and everything is cooked beautifully with the option of hot or cold food. you can have room service if you wish but we enjoyed having it in the breakfast room. The staff again friendly, polite and serving with a smile. The owners of the establishment are on hand and are super friendly and offer a warm friendly smile and have made our stay perfect for us.
