Really good stay
attentive staff wide breakfast standalone bath cozy atmosphere
I appreciated the attentiveness of the staff. Nothing was like too MUCH trouble. Breakfast was GREAT with many choices available. Our room had a standalone bath, something I value. I was grateful for the warm and cozy atmosphere throughout the hotel.
The WI-FI required an email address to access, resulting in unwanted marketing emails.

Really good Stay at this Gem!
courtyard garden pod machine
The room had direct access to a charming rear courtyard garden. I had complimentary cookies and a coffee pod machine in the room. The food, especially breakfast, was AMAZING!!! The staff were lovely and wrote down some places where I could walk my dog.
The absence of free parking was a bit of a letdown. I used the paid car park at the back of the pub. A reduced rate for residents could improve the stay.

spacious room charming room delicious dinner fantastic staff
My room was spacious and charming, I seemed like royalty. The dinner and breakfast I had were very delicious!!! The staff showed very nice service. Karyn, Tom, and all the staff were fantastic. They made my friend very comfortable after an accident.
The paid car park behind the building lacked a residents' discount. It would be nice if residents were offered reduced rates.
