Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a quirky room with enough space and a good size bathroom. The balcony overlooked the street, but the window was propped open with a piece of wood, which was a bit unusual. The service was excellent and always on hand, perfect for a central location in this lovely town. The dining experience was good but had issues with Wifi and TV controllers not working properly. The location was excellent, ideal for exploring the town and reaching nearby venues easily.
The hotel needs some renovation to bring it up to basic standards, but the rooms are comfortable and adequately sized. The service was friendly, although a bit slow to react at times. The location is the hotel's strong suit, being centralized and convenient. The dining experience was satisfactory but not exceptional.
The hotel is conveniently located right in the center of the village, suited our needs perfectly with clean and comfortable accommodations. The service was friendly and helpful, even though they seemed a bit rushed in the evenings. The dining experience was a mix of brilliant with plenty of choices and extremely uncomfortable seating. Overall, a good value for money stay.
