10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel! The reception team is amazing, happy to share recommendations and info about the surrounding area. Hotel rooms are cozy with tea, coffee, and hot cocoa, towel warmers, bed warmers, etc. Fresh milk for tea/coffee available in the main office. Affordable & convenient laundry option which was perfect for this being midway through our travel. Would 100% recommend this hotel!"
