8/10 Very good

Room had a bleechy smell upon arrival and a ‘fusty’ odour during our stay. Not a major issue once windows open but not ideal.

Superb location, friendly staff.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were fantastic and very professional and friendly. The room was lovely. Very clean. It was a shame we couldn’t really use the terrace as the furniture cushions had been left out and were soaking wet due to recent rain. The beds were fairly comfortable but perhaps the mattresses were a knob need of replacing. Overall though, an excellent hotel in a fantastic location.
