Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were large and comfortable, providing everything I needed. It felt very cosy, and I loved the convenience of being able to charge drinks and food to the room. The only downside was some issues with things in the room not working properly, which was a bit of a letdown.
The hotel had beautiful and really comfortable rooms, but being in the attic made them feel a bit low. While the presence of cobwebs and spiders indicated that cleaning was not up to standard, the overall experience was still very nice.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were of a very high standard, but some cleanliness issues were noticed. The service was excellent and friendly. The location was a bit out of the way, but it offered a quiet and private stay. The dining experience fell short with limited options available.
