Lovely bedroom and bathroom. We were very warm and comfortable. Would suggest install a small handrail when going up the two steps into the bathroom would be a great help for the less able bodied. Really enjoyed being there and hope to return.

The staff were uniformly lovely. The place was spotlessly clean and tasteful. The room was very small and very hot and there was very loud music coming from the kitchen immediately below until nearly midnight.

Lovely hotel in a nice area serving really good food along with great staff.
It would have been perfect apart from the size of the room that we were given. The room was clean although extremely small and it was difficult to move around in there.
For the price of our stay I would have expected the room would have been much larger.
