“The hotel benefits from a prime location, and the staff consistently earn praise for their warmth and attentiveness; breakfast is also a highlight. Light sleepers might find the nearby town clock a challenge despite the earplugs. However, the quality of the grilled steak alone makes a visit worthwhile.”

tight entrancehalf-hearted apology

The car park entrance was a tight squeeze. I actually damaged my car trying to get in. also, we returned to find the place in total darkness at just after 10 pm. the front door was locked, and there was no night staff. i had to hammer on the door for 20 minutes to get in, i'm not sure why there was no night porter. the apology felt half-hearted.
