Beautiful property, can easily see why it is a wedding venue! Loved the spa onsite and the gym/pool was very handy. Is qbout a five minute bike from town but not bad.

Unwind….
Relaxing and quiet! Excellent self-catering breakfast option in the studio. Short drive to the square. Nice to hear the birds in the morning and none of the big city noise - a hidden gem.

This is not a pet-friendly motel as advertised, it is very expensive with hidden costs, it is not clean and is unkept in places. We will not be returning, and I do not recommend this motel, keep your money.

A cottage of one's own. A fire to light in winter evenings. Excellent breakfast supplies provided. Couches could be a bit more comfortable but we love visiting here in summer and winter. Spa treatments also amazing.

Very comfortable. Had everything we needed.The studio we were in had a log fire which was great on a cold windy night. The only downside was the chimney rattled loudly in the wind.
