great power ample parking friendly staff small room closed window average food
The ensuite shower had great power. There was ample parking available to guests. I found the hotel warm and cute with really kind staff.
My room was quite small. The room got really hot and the closed bathroom window did not help. I found the food was okay, but not that special.

the room was a bit noisy because of the road and the nearby train line. i could hear traffic and trains until late in the evening.

the staff were super friendly and knew a lot about the local area. i loved how comfy the hotel was and the restaurant was always buzzing showing how good the food is.
our room was a bit small and felt quite old fashioned with different styles of furniture. also the bed sheet was worn and had a hole in it which wasn't ideal.
