damp smell

disgusting bedding

Absolutley awful stay. The smell of damp was so pervasive, it nearly overwhelmed me. The bedding was disgusting, pillows with moth holes? I expected way better given the price. I almost thought to leave a good review, but when I didn't receive a complimentary gesture for my troubles, I just couldn't.

convenient location

nice displays

dated decor

The hotel offers a great location and surprisingly nice displays inside that caught my kids' attention. We loved that there was space for us to easily surf the web. It was perfect for our family with kids aged 10 and 15!

My wife says that the decor felt dated and could use a refresh.

poor parking lighting

We loved exploring the local sights and found some great spots to eat. The room was super clean and so comfy. The host provided all the info we needed. Would definitely recommend this place for a fun getaway.

One minor downside was the car park. It could use some lighting to help find our way back at night.

Highly recommended for a cozy getaway

The room was enormous with a classic four poster bed and fine antique decor. Mark the host was helpful and provided great advice on local spots when we struggled with snow getting there.

It wasn't inexpensive but for what we got it was still acceptable.
