+ A lovely stay! The room was small but clean, with everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we had a brilliant night’s sleep. The bar had a lovely atmosphere and we really enjoyed our evening meal. Breakfast was fantastic and the service was fabulous throughout. Would happily stay again!
− Nothing really! The room was on the smaller side, but it had everything we needed and was perfectly comfortable for our stay.
