The staff were exceptionally lovely and accommodating. They were flexible and customer focussed. The train is just across the road but far enough you don't hear it. The room was BIG and everything was clean. Will definitely stay again!

More than I expected!
Nice big room with a private little courtyard out back. Well appointed room kitchenette and bathroom. Really good to have a proper walk-in shower that worked well too! Many hotels have the shower over bath which I find a bit annoying. Overall was great and recommend!
