    Comfortable and pleasant stay.
    Our evening meal and breakfast were both efficiently served and were of excellent quality and quantity. The room was extremely comfortable and toasty warm.
    Nothing.

    Stay was fine, but disappointed with restaurant as it was freezing. Should have stayed in bar as it was much cosier.
    Always liked the location of the hotel.
    Room was comfort which means very small!

    Lovely and cozy hotel. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed and guided to our room. The room was extremely comfortable, with lots of space and a big bed. Our waiter at dinner, He-man, was beyond exceptional to us and everyone in the dining room.
    Food at dinner came in big servings, but was a bit rich for our liking. Our room was too warm and we couldn't figure out how to adjust it.

    Disappointing
    Initial check in, food was lovely.
    Constant noise in the room from what we believe was a plumbing issue. Requested another room which was considerably smaller and only a double bed. We enquired about the room price as it was different and was met with rudeness. We were advised that the system said that it was equivalent. Asked if she would like to come and inspect and was told "no need to, the system says it is the same". Relocated to yet another room which was the same as first with a bigger bed. Went to dinner and the senior waitstaff were rude and blunt.
