Delicious Evening Meal

I was pleasantly surprised by the dinner at the hotel. The pizza from the evening menu was really good, surpassing my expectations for hotel food. It felt more like dining at a high-end restaurant than a typical hotel experience.

Comfort and Coziness

The room I stayed in had a fantastic ambiance with excellent air conditioning and nice blackout curtains. I appreciated the selection of pillows that made my sleep so much more enjoyable and restful.

Hassle-Free Parking

I found the parking experience at the hotel to be stress-free. The large car park allowed for easy access and the £5 fee per night was reasonable, giving me peace of mind throughout my stay.

Convenient Tea Setup

I loved the tea and coffee making facilities in my room. Having everything I needed to enjoy a warm beverage at any time really made my stay feel more homely and comfortable.
