EXCELLENT stay!

room cleanliness garden access warm welcome
I REALLY appreciated the cleanliness of the room. It felt GREAT to have a studio apartment with garden access. Check-in was smooth and I was welcomed warmly, a nice touch after a LONG journey.
I had trouble with the pillows. They were lumpy and didn't give GREAT support, which affected my sleep quality.

super central gem

central location friendly receptionist fine view
The location was super central. The receptionist was friendly and helpful, allowing luggage storage before check-in. a View at the end of the street overlooked THE castle.
i Booked a beautiful 2 bed apartment and paid over £400 for one night so i was expecting much more. Second bedroom was tiny and there was no ventilation.
