This property has a old world charm with convenient access to the main street. The staff are very helpful and provided great hospitality. The only draw back is off street parking which is always full outside the property.
Deb, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cozy, comfortable room, heritage character, nice to come back to after a day out and about. Suitable breakfast, tea and coffee supplies. Only issue with facilities was the shower head which fell down a few times when showering. Only issues with staff was, between nights (we stayed two), the breakfast dishes were not washed, but for some reason our belongings were collected and re-packed into our suitcases which we thought was a bit strange and unnecessary.

A wonderful three night stay. Simonne looked after us so well, communicating with us prior to arrival, suggesting places and eateries to visit and providing all the niceties for breakfast complete with bubbly in the fridge and a cheese platter. The room was clean and we wanted for nothing. Highly recommended.
