I enjoyed my stay, as the hotel was clean and tidy, offering a peaceful atmosphere near the city and a lovely park. The staff were welcoming and the restaurant had great food. However, issues with a fire alarm on my first night were quite frustrating, and the breakfast area was overcrowded due to large groups.

I had a lovely stay at this unique hotel surrounded by a beautiful flower garden and serene water features. The rooms were spacious and provided a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation. The convenience of a complimentary shuttle to the city center was a bonus, especially with the challenges of parking. The breakfast selection was excellent with plenty of options. However, the bathroom could use some updates to enhance the overall experience.

I had a lovely stay at this charming hotel that combines a cozy Tudor manor feel with convenient amenities. The gardens are beautiful, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. However, due to the chilly weather, I couldn't enjoy the pool, and while the dining options were good, I would have appreciated a wider variety. Overall, a great option for a relaxing getaway.
