Guest Review: The bed was extremely comfortable. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Arrived early but reception staff took our luggage and it was waiting in our rooms when we returnedater. Will definitely stay again.
Guest Review: The room was so stylish and clean! I also liked the location - it's near the beautiful museum park and the train station. It was also so helpful that I could have left my luggage before check-in at the reception desk.
Guest Review: The cabin was exceptional. Very clean and smelt lovely! The bed and pillows were spotless and comfy. There was everything there for us - shampoo and conditioner, hand soap and there was everything we needed in the kitchen - even kitchen roll! There was milk and wine in the fridge too! Very relaxing looking out at the water and watching the birds fishing!
Guest Review: I lovely clean relaxing, peaceful place.. everything you needed for your stay was there . 5 stars
Guest Review: We loved how chilling and relaxing the environment was. It was so quiet and calming, just what we needed to celebrate our friend’s 50th birthday, a very busy mum who works full time in a school, we needed a weekend without watching clocks…enjoying the hot tub and the sauna…it was perfect! There was a fun run in the area and the roads around were closed, the management very kindly allowed us to stay for the day until the roads reopened because it was out of their control, saved us having to leave very early and therefore we enjoyed the previous night without worrying about a very early start to avoid the road closures. Also, even though we took our own, it was a lovely surprise to find, tea, coffee, sugar, 2 pints of fresh milk in the fridge, washing up liquid, other cleaning materials, sponges, cloths, tea towels and loo rolls…you’d be surprised how many places I’ve stayed at and none of the above provided.
