A Nice Stay

comfortable bedwalk-in showermolton brown productssmooth check-in
The check-in process was smooth. The room had a very comfortable large bed. The bathroom included both a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. I also noticed that the toiletries provided were Molton Brown products.
The hotel is located a short distance from the main road, requiring a drive through a slightly rough area to reach it.

The hotel is situated in a rural area. it is still accessible to local attractions and amenities, offering the best of both worlds. Guests can easily explore the surroundings and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

The food presentation was of high quality. The menu offered good variety. I found the Christmas decor beautiful and very cute. The surroundings matched the interior. (I liked the festive menu very much.)

the staff were helpful. they quickly addressed a minor issue with the room lighting.
The noise was a problem. i could hear everything. the walls seemed thin, i was disturbed by sounds from neighboring rooms and the hallway. also, the breakfast service was slow. It took a long time to get our order.
