    Very clean, there was food and condiments when I arrived so I could make myself dinner. Tesco is 2 minutes down the road, but it was very convenient to have something available right in the apartment.

    The hotel is clean and the accommodation is comfortable and quiet. The area is safe. The staff is friendly. Close to tourist attractions. I thank the employee in charge of the restaurant with short hair because she is the pinnacle of humanity in her dealings with adults and children

    Lovely dinner. the rooms are a little hard to access, with narrow stairs but this was stated in the website, from what I recall. would ask for a more accessible room if I was staying there again. Friendly staff. Good selection of non-alcohol beers available.

    Adored this place! This was my second time staying here, but this time, I decided to stay a week instead of two days, and it was even better than my first stay. The great location, cute historic building, and absolutely lovely, kind, and attentive staff all contributed to a wonderful experience. It was also very cosy, which was great since I came in January. I also loved the pub right next door, Turf Tavern, which was a great place to grab dinner or a drink at the end of the day. All in all a great place. I will definitely be back!
