      Amazing location, lovely breakfast, large and comfy rooms with great staff... couldn't ask for more! Left my handbag behind and they made loads of effort to get it back to me.

      Space, especially in the bathroom of our twin room, was scarce.

      Our twin room was handsomely furnished. The division into two more or less separate spaces suited us. Breakfast was well presented and tasty.
