I enjoyed my stay .
Pros:

The breakfast served was very good . I expected other options would have been set out and available .. as standard practice . I had to ask for juice , no cereal put out , no yoghurt available.

Cons:

As abov
I think table service for the evening meal and drinks would have been better as the bar got busier it took longer to order a meal and additional drinks

Pros:

Vegetarian Friendly. The first hotel we have ever been that has plant based milk in room with the tea and coffee facilities. Also, a good vegetarian menu in the restaurant.

Oribil
Pros:

Micul dejun a fost delicios

Cons:

Cum intri in hotel te intampina un miros inbatator de alchol cu iz de pisat o patura pe jos in loc de mocheta inbatatoare de pisat camera in loc sa fie dreapta era cu dealuri si munti nu puteai sa mergi drept parca era special facuta pentru cei in stare de ebrietate totul a fost oribil mai putin micul dejun sincer si gratis nu as mai dormi acolo a fost oribila experienta

Pros:

Literie confortable.
Au-dessus d'un pub, mais calme, nous n'avons rien entendu.

Cons:

Chambre petite.
L'entrée arrière du bâtiment (côté parking) passe devant les toilettes, l'odeur d'urine était forte le soir, mais ça a été nettoyé le lendemain matin.
