friendly atmosphere super clean room mineral water
nadine. i felt a lovely friendly atmosphere in the place. the room was spacious and spotlessly clean. all the amenities i required were there, including bottles of mineral water and a nice selection of toiletries in the bathroom.

the bar and restaurant are closed to the public on some days (mondays, tuesdays, and wednesdays). however, they remain open to all guests on those days, ensuring dining options are always available. the gammon steak was delicious, i have to add.

I received very quick answers regarding parking and dinner options (i had lots of questions!). dinner was amazing. The gammon steak was the best i have ever had. i slept so well. The room was very quiet, even though the hotel is on a main road.
The curtains let in too much light. This was an issue since it was mid summer.
