"Great sercive. Warm welcome."

10.0

After having to check in last minute due to a failed house move, the lady at reception (short curly blonde hair and glasses) made us feel welcome and made a terrible day so much brighter, we cannot thank her and the rest of the staff for their warm welcome and attentive service.

We couldn't find fault.

"Great staff,.comfortable bed, lovely decor"

8.0

Exceptional well trained staff who couldn't do enough to make our stay perfect. Our room was large and airy, overlooking a beautiful lavender garden. The room decoration was modern and tasteful. The bathroom was large and very clean, towels were plentiful and toiletries great. Breakfast was very very good.

There was some distant traffic noise from A12 although this didn't detract from a lovely stay.
