Breakfast was really good, with many options like croissants, bread, and toast.
The coffee machine in my room did not work at first! Eventually, staff fixed that. The TV was not satisfactory. I think it needed retuning. It seemed like an old machine.

this was my first time at this hotel and i found the staff very cute. the room included a nespresso machine, which i used daily (a nice perk!). i found parking on site quite convenient, especially since i was traveling for work. the breakfast options were also varied, i especially liked the sausages.
the tv in my room was not satisfactory. it seemed like an older model and i think it needed retuning. i didn't report it, as i didn't spend much time in the room (i was mostly out).

lovely stay with excellent amenities

spacious roomconvenient car parkhelpful staffbath access
The classic double room we stayed in was spacious. It was also well-equipped with everything needed to enhance our experience. the bed offered great comfort. the private car park located around the back of the hotel proved convenient, a huge bonus with vehicles. staff was also friendly and helpful.
I booked a shower only room, however, i discovered it was over the bath. It presented a problem with bad knees. the parking was also awful as people who were there to drink took all the spaces. it meant we parked outside.
