United Kingdom“The property was central, the staff were lovely, it was clean. It would have been brilliant in its heyday, but is now rather tired looking. We loved that our room looked out over gushing water, great sound.”
Megan
United States“Gorgeous art deco hotel at an unbeatable price. It's probably more in the Summer months but it was only $95 for 2 rooms for my aunt and I in March. Check in was easy and the host recommended restaurants and started a big fire in the beautiful fire...”
Stuart United Kingdom“A hotel from a bygone era in an excellent location. Comfertable rooms and friendly staff.”
