9.2/10 Wonderful! (401 reviews)
"Poor reception greeting. No-one was at the reception area - it’s an extension of the bar. We had to search for a barkeep to check us in. Rooms are a bit dated but spacious, and the ensuite bathroom was excellent as it seemed to have been updated. Breakfasts were excellent."
