Thank you for an extra special stay. Romantic, impeccably clean place, worth its 4 stars. It offers perfect and magnificent location very close to the golf club, centre of town and the cathedral in 2 minutes.

Upon arrival, the room felt uncomfortably hot due to a broken sash window. Although air conditioning resolved the issue once discovered, a clearer instruction at check-in would have eliminated confusion. Parking is a trek from the hotel. While drop-off is quick, the public car park requires a 5-minute walk, which can be a consideration for those with mobility issues. The bathroom could use towel racks for convenience post-shower, and the bedroom layout felt cramped with limited socket availability. Breakfast had good poached eggs but lacked variety, not meeting the expectations set for hotel dining at this price point.

We loved exploring the children's poems and checking out the captivating live event voices in the cozy lounge. The copper bath in our room was a quirky touch, and the breakfast hit the spot. Just a heads up, parking is off-site, which might be a hassle in bad weather.
Checking in was a bit chaotic with an inexperienced staff member. It felt a little disorganized at times.

The stay was quite enjoyable, especially with the spacious room that featured a unique copper bathtub. The dining experience was delightful, with a breakfast that had plenty of options to choose from. One highlight was the charming children's poems displayed in the lobby, which added a nice touch to the atmosphere. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to many attractions in the area. I did find the check-in process a bit chaotic, as the staff seemed inexperienced at the time.

Limited on-site parking could cause inconvenience!!! A more dynamic dining menu with daily changes might attract more guests and enhance the dining experience even further!!!
