Perfect stay. No notes. If you like history (or an underutilized hot tub) it’s a cherry on top. Recommend the dinner and breakfast service. Bravo!

We stayed in the Captain’s Room; it was warm, cosy, and absolutely spotless! Our dinner at the hotel restaurant was scrumptious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. We finished our perfect meal with a nightcap in the bar - very snug! This hotel is an absolute gem: simple, cosy, and exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway!

Absolutely amazing stay! The staff were warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The room was spotless, beautifully presented, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail was thought of — from the quality amenities to the stunning gardens. The location was perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience — we’ll definitely be back!
