My weekend away.

Great location. Hotel is beautifully clean and cosy. Only issue maybe was the parking situation. Only a few spaces available that we never managed to park in. There were a few parking spaces a few minutes walk away that had been allocated for the hotel but not ideal if youā€™re elderly or disabled. Overall a very happy customer who had a relaxing stress free stay.

The property was beautiful and the staff at reception were great. The only thing I was disappointed in was the parking. I chose this hotel because it offered free onsite parking. There was no parking available when we arrived and were told we had to find street parking. I was not familiar with the area and this is stressful, hoping the car will be alright and we won't have to walk far. Thankfully there was a gentlemen helping with parking who showed us where to go. I just wish we could have parked in the lot like we thought when we booked.
