Historic Charm and Excellent Service

spa facilitiesfriendly staffcook fooddirty carpet
This hotel has a unique historical feel! I particularly enjoyed the spa facilities, it included a vitality pool with jacuzzi kept at 38c. It felt great. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were very good with cook-to-order hot food. It was a real treat.
I found some areas needed more attention to cleanliness. There was dirty carpet, and stained seats, a bit disappointing.
