“Under new management since last year. Dark decor is being replaced gradually with lighter colours. Better food choices since last time. rooms were available early.”
Julie

“It was styled to fit the surroundings with nice welcoming touches. Good bed - good food - good staff - easy parking”
Judith

“Good choice, if at all critical I would have preferred to book somewhere with unlimited coffee. One cup without option offered. I think a cafeteria would have helped make breakfast perfect or at least the offer of another coffee.”
Daniel
