Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were a little dated but exceptionally clean with lots of little extras. I found it lovely and clean, and I enjoyed the bathroom being upstairs in the room with a powerful shower. However, there were quite a few stairs to navigate around.
The hotel had a unique charm with an upstairs ensuite bathroom, but it was quite noisy due to outdoor activities on a warm evening. The walk up several flights of stairs might not be ideal for everyone, but the room had all the essential amenities including a comfortable double bed and complimentary tea, coffee, and hot chocolate.
