This hotel is amazing. Well located, Great facilities. Super helpful and friendly staff. The restaurant was very good. We had an evening meal and enjoyed it immensely. The sleep was great. Breakfast was cooked to taste, and was exceptional for a hotel and included in the price. We will certainly return soon.

I really enjoyed staying here. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. They are very environmentally aware and encourage guests to be mindful as well. I arrived too late for dinner but breakfast was tasty and I only stayed one night. There were families/folk enjoying the hammocks in the garden and an outdoor almost people sized game of chess.

8/10 Very good

Linen and towels very good quality and brilliant white. The room was spotlessly clean and bed super comfortable. Decor etc. needs some TLC.

8/10 Very good

This was a last minute booking, we really enjoyed our stay. Food is excellent, staff are friendly & helpful. Hotel would benefit from some TLC & a little update. Stair carpet frayed, bedroom walls are ready for a coat of emulsion, but we would stay again.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The hotel is situated in a lovely, peaceful area, and the staff were pleasant and adequate throughout our visit. The standout feature of our trip was definitely the food—every meal was truly wonderful and exceeded our expectations. However, getting a restful night's sleep was difficult. We were placed on the first floor, and the sound insulation between floors was very poor. We could clearly hear footsteps, constant banging, and movements from the guests above us throughout the day and night. If you plan to stay here, the setting and cuisine are well worth it, but I would strongly recommend requesting a room on a higher floor to avoid the overhead noise.
