    late arrival frustrations

    Staff members were genuinely friendly and went above and beyond, making our Christmas stay memorable by accommodating special requests. The room was spacious, providing a comfortable environment for our family, and the breakfast was delightful, enjoyed by all, including the kids who appreciated their meals. after a late arrival, we were disappointed to find the restaurant closed, and internet connectivity was somewhat unreliable during our stay.

    unsafe hot water

    Quick getaway in a peaceful spot

    Had a one-night stay and it was pretty chill! The location was super quiet, which was what we wanted. The interior of the hotel looked nice, and the restaurant staff were very friendly, giving our dog loads of attention. Breakfast was really tasty. Just wished the hot water tap was a bit safer to use.

    A Family-Friendly Stay with Great Dining Options

    We had a wonderful experience during our one-night stay, enjoying the cozy double room and the delightful restaurant. The Napoli pizza was a standout, and the staff really catered to my husband’s dietary request. If you appreciate personalized service and tasty meals, this place is a perfect choice.

    comfortable bed
    nice decor
    spacious room
    noise from hallway
    limited view

    The Double Room was nicely decorated, and the bed was super comfy. It had a cozy vibe overall. We loved the spaciousness and the fact that everything felt modern and clean. The shower was pretty great too, with good water pressure. Only downside was some noise from the hallway, but nothing too distracting.

    During my stay, I appreciated how close the hotel was to Barrow Park, where I spent a lovely afternoon walking through the greenery, and less than a 5-minute walk to Roanhead Beach, perfect for a peaceful seaside stroll. the friendly staff made my experience even more enjoyable.

    afternoon tea
    cozy lounge
    stern manager

    We had a lovely two-night stay, enjoying the beautiful afternoon tea on the terrace and relaxing by the cozy fire in the lounge. The atmosphere was perfect for winding down after a day out, and the food we had at the restaurant was fantastic. The only downside was a rather stern manager we saw during our time there, but it didn't spoil the otherwise great experience! 😊

    great stay but missed some details

    The staff provided exceptional service during our stay which made a lasting impression and the room was well-equipped with modern amenities that added comfort to our experience.

    However the room could have benefited from more attention to minor maintenance issues.

    accessible bathroom
    design improvement

    The elegant furnishings and cozy bar made my stay delightful, reminding me of my favorite tea party with delicate china and sweet treats. The beautifully decorated common areas were also very accessible for everyone, especially seniors like myself.

    A more accessible bathroom design would be helpful.
