I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms boast a pretty view over the garden, with spacious ensuite bathrooms, comfortable beds, and attractive botanical art. The service was top-notch, with staff who work happily and give their full attention to customer service. The location is serene, on the edge of town with a lovely garden, perfect for those wanting to be close to nature. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the best filtered coffee and toast I have had so far. The facilities were great, offering everything I needed for a relaxing stay.

I had a wonderful stay with beautiful large sash windows in the room looking out onto the garden, offering a pretty view. However, it would have been even better if there was a mirror in the bedroom next to a plug socket for hairdryer use and a dog bed too.
