uninviting dining area

The cozy lounge area felt like a warm hug, perfect for relaxing after our travels. It was easily accessible, making it a lovely spot for weary travelers like my husband and me to unwind and enjoy a nice cup of tea.

More comfortable seating in the dining area would help.

Charming, Charming, Charming

I absolutely loved my cozy Classic Double Room, with its inviting decor that radiated warmth and nostalgia. The hotel’s attention to detail with its eclectic decoration, featuring old photographs, made me feel connected to its rich history. Plus, the dining experience was a delight, especially the budget-friendly Sunday carvery that was packed with delicious roast meats and desserts!

strongly recommend 😊❤️
