The location was amazing and so close to historic sites, it added such charm to my stay. the staff were cute. Their kindness created a warm, inviting environment. the cottage was beautifully clean. I felt pampered.
The lack of a working tv in the apartment was a small frustration. I missed unwinding with a show.

Great Visit Near the Castle!

The room offered a castle view. The staff recommended a pub for Mother's Day. The room was clean and the bath was large. Breakfast offered many choices.
Furnishings and decor looked somewhat exhausted in public areas.

The breakfast had good quality ingredients. Vegetarian options were excellent and piping hot. The restaurant offered perfect portion sizes. It was not too much or too little.

The hotel is near the castle walls. It is located around the corner from the cathedral. Many restaurants are within easy walking distance from the hotel. The area becomes quiet after 11 pm.

cold sausagesdirty kettle
I encountered some issues i found FRUSTRATING. The breakfast, though included, left something to be desired. My vegetarian sausages were not properly heated. They seemed to have come straight from the freezer. The lack of proper temperature control for the food was a letdown and detracted from the morning meal. ALSO, the kettle in the room was old and looked quite dirty, it made ME reluctant to use it.
