This hotel really went above and beyond to make me feel like a valued guest, offering those special little extras that elevate the experience. While it's located at the quieter top of the hotel, it still provides a welcoming and special feeling, making me feel more like a guest than just a customer. The rear location of the hotel adds a sense of tranquility and serenity at this time of year, making it a unique stay.

I was delighted with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were not only spotless but also very comfortable, complete with welcome biscuits and a personal note from the owners. Getting there early is a must to secure a good spot, but the rooms are lovely, even with the slightly cramped shower cubicle. The daily fresh pastries and tea/coffee facilities were a nice touch.
