Great location
Great location and lovely accommodation. There were problems with getting a drink in the evening and service at breakfast both days was really slow. However the breakfast when it arrived was delicious! Hopefully these service issues can be sorted out

Must do better
Accommodation itself was basic but serviceable. Comfort was disappointing given there was no hot water or heating.
And with this being an outside courtyard room it was particularly cold. Breakfast was ok but not special. Service mediocre.

Really enjoyed our stay, lovely friendly staff and the food was very nice. My only negative was that we were staying in rooms accessed by crossing the gravel car park. The gravel was slippery in the ice and needed a bit of sand and their was no outside lighting.
Other than that, lovely and will definitely come again.

Staff are fantastic- as I suffer from chronic back problems I feel that the mattress needed changing
I couldn’t fault the staff - breakfast choices were great

Hotel was nice , the food is lovely and the staff are too. my only gripe was in my room, room 3 the aerial didnt fit the tv so nothing to watch when i went to my room. I stated in the same room in January 23 and it was the same. I spoke to night manager, who looked at it. and couldnt fix it. he mentioned taking something off my bill and then said he would look to see if he had another room but he didnt come back to me.

Not the best nights sleep
Room very dark and bed needed a new mattress. No window to open so went to put tower fan on in middle of night and the top came away from bottom. On a good note the breakfast was fabulous.
