A truly wonderful stay with exceptional service, comfort, and beautiful surroundings, I can’t wait to return!
Pros:

I loved everything about this hotel. The room was very clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. One of the special things about my room was the lovely view of the railway tracks and the park. Despite the location, the room was surprisingly quiet, with no noise disturbance at all, so I had a very peaceful and restful sleep. The bathroom was beautiful and spotless, and I really enjoyed the peaceful and lush garden around the hotel. The staff were also wonderful, very friendly, attentive, and helpful, and they gave us great recommendations. I was truly impressed with every aspect of our stay.

Cons:

Honestly, I didn’t find anything I disliked. Everything was wonderful and exceeded my expectations.

Really Enjoyable Stay
Pros:

Great location. Excellent breakfast. Lovely room.

Cons:

The electronic check-in system didn't work for us, despite the assistance of a member of staff. Consequently, we had to go to another member of staff for a more traditional check-in.
