"Really enjoyed my stay here as a solo business traveller over 3 nights. It is quirky and small but really cosy and warm, very clean and comfortable. Felt like a home away from home. Menu and food was good in the brasserie. The little extra touches; breakfast hamper and chocolates, ample fresh juice and milk in the fridge were really lovely and make they stay even nicer."

"The staff were very helpful. The location was perfect. The room by the courtyard garden was quite cold for a stay in January, the bed had a thin fleece blanket over the duvet, but could do with something thicker for January. Breakfast had a brilliant selection, and the staff were very attentive."

"Second time staying here. Good value for money, aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Beds and pillows comfortable, nice and warm in the rooms and hotel itself Rooms could do with a freshen up with paint and small maintenance to windows and walls. Remote control filthy, batteries flat. Tea and coffee facility which is good. Shower pressure average but overall good value, fairly clean, good breakfast variety Would definitely come back "

"Lovely clean room and it was huge! Had everything we needed for.our stay. Building felt safe and was in a really convenient spot on the high street. Even though it was a saturday night, the noise was not an issue. Only criticism is that the room was really really warm! It was snowing outside but the room was still too warm, id be a little worried about staying in the warmer weather as ive noticed from other reviews that this is a problem all year round."
