The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Culinary Delight

I was truly impressed by the dinner menu. The chef’s innovative take on traditional dishes made for an extraordinary culinary experience, especially the seafood platter which was the best I've had in years. Every bite was a celebration of local flavors.

Thoughtful Amenities

My stay in the garden room was enhanced by the carefully considered amenities. The presence of fresh milk for tea was a good surprise, and the complimentary armchairs made it the perfect spot for a relaxing evening with a good book.

Really good Showers

The bathroom featured an excellent walk-in shower with great water pressure that was invigorating! It truly elevated my morning routine and set a refreshing tone for the rest of the day.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was clean, nicely laid out, and well-presented, but I felt it was a bit overpriced at £160 per night considering it wasn't extremely special. The staff, however, were incredibly kind and friendly, and the food was superb, offering excellent comfort in the spacious and impeccably clean room.
