Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated right in the center of town, making it fantastic for exploring. The rooms are beautifully decorated with Molton Brown toiletries and a four-poster bed, providing a very comfy stay. The bathroom was lovely, adding to the overall enjoyment of the room. However, the restaurant's closing time was impractical, limiting dining options at certain hours.
The hotel is ideally located right in the center of town, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms are comfortable and offer a nice bathroom, although the four-poster bed adds a touch of luxury. The service, including housekeeping and a welcome drink, is top-notch. The fantastic location near the town center and only a short walk to the racecourse adds to the hotel's appeal. The dining experience with classic dishes is a delightful touch. Overall, a great value for money stay with excellent amenities.
The hotel had a lovely atmosphere with a nice bathroom and a charming four-poster bed. The room included both a bath and shower, which was convenient, but the bathroom felt a bit dated. The service was attentive, and I was pleasantly surprised by the welcome drink. However, the location was not ideal as it was far from the town centre. The dining experience was exceptional with delicious seasonal dishes, showcasing great value for money. The facilities were well-maintained, but the lack of included breakfast was a downside.
