Lovely Boutique Stay

chilled water great radio excellent decor
The room had chilled water, a great radio, sweets, treats. great tea and coffee. The bar area is fantastic. It is lovely. I found the decor to be excellent, and the parking was also convenient. I appreciated the attention to detail.
I experienced an issue with the restaurant availability. The restaurant seemed small, resulting in limited availability. This oversight was an inconvenience.

I had a delicious deli lunch. I enjoyed drinks on the sun trap that is the front patio. I found the breakfast to be lovely. The hotel offers a grazing table though I found it didn't offer very much.

the staff were super friendly and helpful throughout MY stay. I had A great and restful night's sleep, thanks to pre-stay communication. Parking is immediately behind the hotel and it is easily located.
although i had booked the room, no one communicated that the restaurant was small. Subsequently, when I arrived, I couldn't book for dinner, sadly.

i found the staff very friendly and helpful. the breakfast was lovely, i enjoyed it. it's nice they provide fresh milk in the room for coffee and tea.
the hotel is meant to be boutique, i think they overcharge for some wacky decor. the room was small, it felt expensive. i think the bed was too soft and bouncy.
