Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were uncomfortably hot, requiring open windows, although they were clean and had a comfortable bed. The service was friendly and accommodating, with special touches like champagne delivery, but improvements could be made in cleanliness. The location felt inviting and peaceful, but some inconveniences with local school activities. The dining experience was average with room for quality enhancement. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with comfortable and well-appointed rooms overlooking the charming church. The room was surprisingly hot and required open windows even with no heating on, creating a cozy atmosphere that felt special. The service was polite and helpful, especially during breakfast time, and the location offered easy access to main routes while giving a countryside feel. The dining experience was pleasant with a mix of usual items and a continental buffet. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel had rooms that were a bit dated and didn't have air conditioning, making them very warm. However, the staff was friendly and inviting, and the Christmas experience was delightful. The location, though inhabited by squirrels causing a mess, offered a secluded country setting yet remained close to amenities and the city center. The dining experience was very enjoyable, and the facilities included great spa amenities. Tired spots were noted, and the travel cot seemed worn, but the spa facilities were a highlight.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a lovely view, but there were lots of little moths flying around the lights and it was extremely hot in my attic room with a small window. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The location was nice and close to attractions, although a bit sparse. The dining ranged from OK to excellent, depending on the dish. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel had a few drawbacks like tired rooms with maintenance issues and excessive heat, but on the bright side, we were accommodated with a room change and the spacious, bright room had a nice large bathroom. The service was friendly overall, despite some room for improvement in terms of recommendations. Location-wise, it was convenient with good local amenities. Dining was a mix of superb and self-service experiences. The hotel facilities were decent. Prices seemed reasonable but worth exploring other options for value.
