My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were updated, very clean, and the bed was super comfortable. Having individual bathrooms was a big plus for me, ensuring privacy and convenience. However, the shared bathroom option might be a consideration for some. The service was impeccable, and the location couldn't have been better, close to all the nearby restaurants. The dining experience, although not included, was satisfying with delicious scones available. Overall, a great value for money with fantastic facilities.

The hotel had a fantastic location in the center of town, close to everything you need, with individual bathrooms in the rooms. The welcoming service made my stay enjoyable, although I felt the price didn't fully reflect the value I received. The dining experience was top-notch with daily fresh fish, but I wish there were more facilities available.
