10/10 Excellent
"Really enjoyed our overnight stay here. The room was great, staff so helpful and friendly and we had an excellent meal in their Italian restaurant. The room we checked into had a bad smell that persisted for a few hours but the staff happily moved us to an alternate room, which was odour free. :-)"
