Good quiet stay.
Pros:

We stayed for two nights via a Travelzoo offer and found it to be of very good value.
The hotel was very clean throughout and the staff friendly and helpful.
The room was quiet and comfortable but a little small.
We found to our amusement at 50 odd we were the youngest guests. It’s definitely for those like us that want a quiet relaxing stay.

For the older generation, very quiet
Pros:

Quiet hotel, friendly staff and very clean.
The food was good but they could definitely improve on the vegan options such as vegan cream and butter with the cream tea not just a huge lump of flora margarine !
Dry robes available to borrow for a walk if needed .
Being in our early 50's we were quite possibly the youngest guests there.
