Great hotel and stay.
Fantastic room, lovely breakfast, but busy waiting staff so the wait was longer than we would usually expect. One personal criticism was the pillows were too full and too firm and no choice to swap them.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very unclean and uncomfortable
Arrived 24.9.2019 and shown to a very small room with shower , after looking at the pillow cases on the bed we found that the cases were very soiled and after further investigation the mattress was heavily stained we could not sleep on a bed that was unhygenic. We then requested another room. Which was up a further two flights of stairs but only had a bathroom , not a shower , this was acceptable. Although the bath had to be cleaned by the person showing us the room before we could use it . this room was ok although the bed was very uncomfortable and room was very dusty. The food / breakfast was ok. In all of this time not one apology was given for the inconvenience that we had to endure . on day that we left all the waitress was concerned about was the return of the parking permit. Still no apology. Would not reccomend this B&B ( because that is all it is ) and i am amazed how many people rate this B&B as good. Will definately never go back there again

The staff all were very friendly and helpful. Anna was especially helpful. The room was small but easy to arrange to allow movement. Easy to access power to charge electronics. Breakfasts were good and promptly served. We didn’t have a car while there but noticed that parking was very limited.

Mixed feelings
Generally a good stay, friendly staff good breakfast. Very low water pressure to basin and odd tap operation. Shower pressure low. My partner would also prefer a wand type shower head to prevent the “water boarding “ effect. In a boutique hotel I would expect a small fridge with fresh milk not the awful sachets provided, i can have these in Burger King! A few small adjustments to this hotel would lift it to the position it should be at.

The property as a whole is the perfect balance of luxury and comfort, the staff were all lovely and more than happy to help- we wouldn't hesitate to come back! Would definitely recommend the breakfast too- it certainly tastes as good as it looks :-)
