The property was amazing, fantastic room with facilities, but nothing beats the absolutely amazing service from all the staff. I have never stayed at a hotel where they were like my friends, recognized us, made sure we didn’t go without and just genuine nice people.
Would happily stay here again just for their hospitality alone!

Lovely hotel, highly recommend.
Lovely hotel and staff. The room was perfect, clean, comfortable bed, air purifier and coffee machine. The staff were so helpful, the lady who checked us in was absolutely lovely. Were very accommodating when we asked for extra items such as an iron. Lovely little bar downstairs but refillable water bottles you could take up to your room. Highly recommend.
