I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were tastefully decorated and comfortable, although we had a bit of a struggle with the heater at first. The outlook wasn't the best, but it was incredibly quiet and peaceful. It was a letdown to have to ask for additional bedding for the third person.

The staff, especially Peter and Sharon, were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. They even went out of their way to make my birthday special. Sharon and Jamie were particularly accommodating and made my stay memorable.

Location

The hotel is somewhat isolated, but it's easily accessible from main routes and great for visiting local attractions. It was a bit disappointing to find the floors unswept and dirty ashtrays upon arrival which remained the same when we left three days later.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was excellent overall, with fantastic early morning breakfast service that was particularly beneficial for business travelers. However, there were some hiccups like no choice of eggs and having to request toast, not being able to get a drink until noon, but the meals were cooked fresh and hot, making it good value for money.

The hotel's facilities are good, with housekeeping, laundry services, welcome drink, and pet amenities available to make the stay more convenient.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The only downside was the thin walls in the bathroom that made things a bit awkward when privacy was needed. The location was ideal for me, even though it was a bit chilly. The dining experience was great, especially the buffet table, though the breakfast options could be more varied. Overall, a good value for a night's rest.
