Reviews
Good location but room with slanted ceiling and only skylights without windows. Felt like we were in an attic. Not happy with the room for the price we paid.
The bed was comfortable and the area was generally quiet.
The breakfast was very crowded with little room to manoeuvre. The hot food was lukewarm at best with the bacon being totally undercooked on the first morning and overcooked on the second morning.
The bread I felt like eating on the second morning of my stay was still frozen on the inside, so I gave that a miss.
Lots of dining and drinking options within a short walk and an excellent restaurant in-house
Hygiene: OK
Service: Good
