The overall experience was amazing. I could breathe better than in most hotels that I have stayed in. The staff was very friendly. Being able to have breakfast every morning was nice. Everything was wonderful.

We had to pay $100 incidental fee (of which we were unaware) before we even saw the room. Have never had to pay a fee like this upfront except when we’ve travelled with our dog.

Staff is great. I had the room with hardwood (laminate) floors, which made the room feel much bigger and cleaner. The bathroom is a bit dated having a tub instead of a walk in. Staff is very friendly. Both during check in and check out I had a very positive experience with them. Would stay again!

My husband and I found the property visually appealing. Set back off the main road was an excellent choice. The noise level was minimal to the extent of being virtually non-existent. We loved the brickwork, a lot of charm. My husband found the breakfast display outstanding - " the eggs actually tasted like eggs and were not dried out". The reception staff when we arrived and when we left the next morning were very pleasant and efficient.
