Lovely room with a fridge and our own access. Hana is so lovely and kind and nothing is too much for her. She made us feel very welcome and comfortable the entire time we were there. Covid measures were good and made us feel safe. The breakfast was lovely with lots of options for everyone and is always brought to you with a smile!

We had a large, very clean and comfortable room, with a full size fridge. Excellent breakfast options, especially nice were grapefruit, scrambled egg with smoked salmon and full English. Felt very safe, as all possible Covid related adjustments that have been made. Car parking is available for 4 cars on a first come basis. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would be very happy to go back in the future.
