Great staff. Property is a bit older so don’t expect all the updated amenities. Clean for the age of hotel. Perfect for an overnight or a short trip. Beautiful location and super friendly staff. Will stay again.

A functional hotel
A functional hotel with a lovely view. Liz at reception was very helpful and welcoming.
The room was adequate but I could hear someone snoring in the next room. Kerb appeal could be improved.
