The room was dirty and tired with damages throughout. The only reason this rating isn't 1 star is due to the sheets and towels being clean.

Was a bit nervous having read some negative reviews, but needn't have been. Our room was warm and bed was comfy. Bathroom was kept clean and it was nice to have a hot bath after a days sightseeing. We requested an extra chair for the room which was provided straight away. Didn't have breakfast. Buses to city very efficient - longest we waited was 3 mins. Car parking useful. Overall I would recommend the hotel, but I wouldn't say it is 4 star, more like 3 star, but fine.

It was cute. No elevator which I knew but would want to request main floor room if you have mobility issues or lots of bags. Staff were lovely. Easy access to bus that went straight downtown. The room has no noise barriers for within the house. And no light blockage. You will need ear plugs and an eye mask if you are easily bothered. I guess we were supposed to get a bottle of wine? But we didn't. Which is a shame because that would have been lovely. I would stay here again but I would be mindful.

We booked two rooms, one in the lodge at the back which was lovely. The second room was no. 14 on the top floor. It was very cold and had no way to get it warm. Thankfully we didn't spend too much time in there as it was only one night stay. Longer would have been an issue. Staff were nice, breakfast was very good.
