Joli décor mais insuffisant pour se sentir vraiment bien
Pros:

Ambiance cosy, joli décor.
Bien placé
Très bon petit déjeuner
Restaurant très bien quoique un peu cher

Cons:

Le lit était petit et mou.
La porte laissait filtrer la lumière et beaucoup de passage toute la nuit.
Le rideau de douche qui colle est une horreur..
La poussière n était pas faite sous le téléphone…

Convenient location for the wedding, but unfortunately the condition, cleanliness and lack of working hot water made the
Pros:

The property suited our needs for location we were at a wedding in a nearby hotel was handy enough to get to.

Cons:

We paid £167 for one night, so unfortunately I didn’t feel the stay was good value for money.

We arrived at around 2:40pm, just 20 minutes before the 3pm check-in time. We were told it would be another 30 minutes before the room was ready. As we were attending a wedding, we didn’t want to wait around and explained that we only wanted to leave our bags and check in before heading off, so we declined and returned to the hotel at around 2am.

Unfortunately, the room was disappointing. The bathroom was not particularly clean, with dirt visibly built up in the grooves of the bathroom door. The biggest issue was the shower. The water temperatures seemed to be the wrong way around, with the cold water actually coming out warmer than the hot. I had shower gel on me and couldn’t properly wash it off, so I ended up having to get out and soak a towel to clean myself.

The room also had a damp, musty feeling to it, which wasn’t pleasant.

I am genuinely not fussy when it comes to hotels, especially when I’m only looking for somewhere to get my head down for the night, so I wouldn’t normally complain about minor things. However, for £167 for one night, I expected a basic level of cleanliness and functioning facilities. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel the room met that standard and it wasn’t good value for the price we paid.
