The rooms feature a comfortable design with stylish decor. The restaurant and bar also have a similar appealing decoration. Hotel parking offered plenty of spaces for all guests. I enjoyed the shepherd's pie.
My room window had a thin blind. This let light in above the bed. The smoking area under the window caused noise until late. Breakfast included terrible sausages that had hard lumps.
