The staff is absolutely 5 star! They go above and beyond and truly make you feel like a guest … they’re so helpful and kind ! My only con about this property is the lack of a traditional lobby with seating area etc, the cafe downstairs is dark and gloomy although the scones are delicious and the staff is super kind as well !

The hotel was clean and well maintained, it felt very welcoming and had a buzz about it that we liked . The dining room was lovely, as was the meal we had on Saturday afternoon. Although we really didn’t enjoy the breakfast, both the sausage and bacon was over cooked.
