Charming Stay!

family room separate area spacious room comfy bed

The family room featured a double bed plus a separate area with bunk beds. This layout worked well for our family. The location was great. I found the room to be spacious. The bed was comfy, too. The cute additions made the room homey!

The evening menu seemed overpriced, I was not keen on it.

Central Stay with Excellent Service

helpful staff fluffy towels

Aaron showed us to our room and described breakfast and dinner options. He was helpful, and Jack suggested nice bike trails, they are a credit to this place. The room was comfortable with a powerful shower and shower gel. I found the towels quite fluffy.

The window overlooked a wall and fire escape. It was quite noisy, and the window did not shut completely. I expected noise from the pub below, but the window really needs fixing. The walls and doors seemed very thin.
