First of all the property was amazing. The pub/restaurant was cozy and beautiful. Our room was comfortable and very clean. The staff were very attentive and helpful. We had issues with our tv and also transportation issues due to train strikes. The staff helped us immediately and made our stay very enjoyable. Lastly, the breakfast was amazing. Thank you !!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very kind staff, good location, lovely decor, and sweet welcome gift. Walls are thin, however, with slopping and creaking floors (and bed), and an overly complicated and temperamental TV. Have already noted to management that the WiFi requires far too much personal information in order to log in. Feels intrusive and corporate for an otherwise homey place.

Friendly and accommodating staff, quirky and stylish hotel and bar, slightly off the main drag but just a short walk to shops and restaurants. Would happily recommend a stay at this hotel.

Amazing decor & customer service !
The rooms and bar / lounge area were very welcoming and clean, with an amazing outdoor covered area. The room had a lovely decor with a well stocked mini bar and good quality linen. The customer service from Lucie was excellent and she was very helpful and knowledgable. Will definitely be staying here again.
