The little touches make for a more enjoyable stay
Guests say that the small touches they found included at the property, such as port and chocolates, newspapers, morning coffee and freshly baked cakes offered in the lounge, make their stay feel more special.
positive:
Charm and great for couples
Some guests have said that while the hotel might
be a bit ‘old fashioned' in places, this only lends itself to giving
the building its character and charm. If you are looking for a getaway for two - with no kids in tow - this hotel is worth a second look.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms may be a little on the small side
Some guests felt that their rooms were smaller than they would like and said that in a property of this type they would have expected them to be more spacious. However, rooms are said to be comfortable and welcoming.
negative:
Breakfast is not free
It is not a major negative, but some guests have
said that they felt disappointed that a hotel towards the higher end of the
price scale does not give its guests a complimentary breakfast.
negative:
Service not always as expected
Some guests have expressed some disappointment with the quality of service they received. It is not necessarily that service was bad as such, but more that the guests expected it to be better than it was. If personal service means a lot to you, rather than staff who might be more inclined keep their distance, this is something to bear in mind.
