    We had an incredible stay at this hotel. The cleanliness was impeccable, with fresh and clean bed linen and laundry. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with a stunning view from the main building and comfortable family rooms in the main house. The location was perfect, as it was close to shops and restaurants, yet still away from the hustle and bustle of the town center. Additionally, the staff at this hotel were outstanding. The service we received was second to none, with the friendliness making us feel incredibly welcome. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate our dietary needs, providing us with 2% milk upon our request. We can't thank them enough for their hospitality.

    Nothing not to love.

    The location of the B&B is perfect, with shops and restaurants nearby but still away from the hustle and bustle of the town center. The rooms are well-maintained and the bathrooms are clean. The staff provides excellent service, ensuring that your needs are met. The breakfast provided is delicious and satisfying. the B&B offers pet-friendly rooms, which is a great advantage for those traveling with furry companions.

    During my Christmas break, I stayed in a hotel with charming old buildings that provided a cozy atmosphere. The hotel is located close to shops and restaurants, making it convenient for me to explore the area and enjoy delicious meals. the bed was very comfortable, ensuring that I had a restful night's sleep.

    There were a few downsides to my stay. The TV in my room did not work correctly, and though a member of the staff tried to fix it, it would only work sporadically.

    During our Christmas stay, we enjoyed the fact that the hotel offered complimentary breakfast and free parking. The location was also convenient as it was walking distance to shops and restaurants. We especially liked the comfortable beds, which made for a good night's rest.

    The carpet was stained, and the bathroom needed updating. The shower also had a hot and cold water issue.
