The staff here were really lovely and accommodating, the location was fantastic and the room was comfortable and exactly what we needed. I couldn't recommend the place highly enough.

Really enjoyed our night here. As it was Monday the pizza place was closed...we ended up eating in the fish and chip shop, and had a superb meal. We then had an excellent breakfast which set us up for the day. It was freshly cooked for us. There was also a good selection of cereals, fruit and yogurt, besides a toast machine.

I will stay here again. On a very sunny weekend in May, I stayed here, and I was pleased with how large my room was and how comfortable the bed was. The windows opened wide and weren't too hot. The room was quiet my only criticism was that the mirror was hung so slowly that I had to crouch down to use it but there was one in the bathroom at a better height. The bathroom was clean, but there was no shower curtain so it was difficult to not spray water all over the bathroom. The place itself was very quiet, and I could safely store my suitcase there after checking out. I had a free breakfast, but when I came downstairs it seemed like the kitchen was packing up early, but after asking the staff, they provided me with food, and I didn't have to wait too long. The location was good and the price was reasonable when booking late.

I think this is a modernist establishment, however what kind of century is it? Found a broken paint job on the window, and banged my head three times before entering the room. The beds seemed clean. We decided to leave quickly, but we were surprised. Under the terms, the refund was not expected, but it had no bearing on our experience.

The room was OK, basic but adequate. Breakfast wasn't too great to be honest. Bar closes very early in the evening. Great location though, and the pizzas in the restaurant are very good.

The staff are amazing: hardworking, kind, cheerful, helpful, empathetic and nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is excellent. The pizzas have a well deserved reputation. The building is a little tired. The bedroom needed some basic maintenance. £g. the window could not be left open as the part to fit the long arm onto was missing and so the window could have easily swung in the wind and broken. The cupboard next to the bed had a door which fell apart and simply needed some contact adhesive to fix. The cleanliness of the loos by the restaurants was not regularly checked and the loo brush was missing. The san bin needed emptying. There are not enough staff. The current staff were amazingly hardworking but could not possibly be expected to cover 12 rooms, serve, clean, take bookings, answer the phone, deal with some demanding guests (race course attendees etc}. Some of the staff looked overtired and in need of a holiday or a few days off at least. In terms of decor. A few pictures in the rooms or corridors would easily enhance. The iris flowers are pretty and the little flower arrangement in the room were sweet. There was no range of tea bags or biscuits in the bedroom. Staff were quick to supply decaff teabags and real milk on request. Overall a very relaxing stay. The bed was comfy, the room was quiet and the staff especially Charlotte, Sarah and Matteo delightful. The eco lighting system is great but the lights turn off too quickly and left me in darkness.

It was a pleasant stay, in a very good location. They provide a hairdryer but you have to ask for it. No hand towels provided and the breakfast was not as stated as a full English breakfast. The staff were very attentive and friendly.
