Pleasant

Disliked: The floors creak so when the person in the room above walks around their room its really noisy in my room. I won't tell you how noisy their visits to the bathroom were!

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

small but comfortable for the...

Liked: the ensuite was nice and the shower was hot so that was good.
Disliked: pictures of the hotel on the web are deceptive. this is a 3 star hotel at best. the entrance and reception are very small and basic. you have to be looking for this hotel otherwise you will walk straight past it. my single room was tiny, probably the smallest hotel room i have ever stayed in. it was close to the reception and the building / corridor is old and creeks as people walk down it so you will get woken up. you get a very basic breakfast of pastry and coffee included in the price. anything hot is extra

Excellent little hotel

Liked: Staff were excellent we felt welcomed and valued by the staff, it was our wedding anniversary and we received a free bottle of wine, towels made up as swans and the room decorated, at breakfast the following day we were wished a happy anniversary, would definitely recommend.
Disliked: Nothing
