ample parking delicious breakfast friendly staff poor pillows bitter coffee unreliable wifi
i really enjoyed my stay. ample car parking made arrival easy. i particularly loved the delicious breakfast, especially the porridge with whiskey. it was a super start to each day. the staff were so friendly and helpful throughout the hotel.
my room was okay, however the pillows were not great. they seemed to be designed more for firmness than comfort which affected my sleep. also, the pod coffee in the room tasted bitter and thin, it reminded me of chicory. finally, i had issues with the wifi, it was often slow and unreliable.

sweet staff amazing food comfortable bed long wait black mold tired interior
I found the staff to be sweet. The food was AMAZING!!! The log fires created a very cozy atmosphere. The bed was comfortable, a true delight.
Waiting almost an hour for breakfast was not ideal. I noticed black mold on the window frames in the bedroom. I thought the interior seemed a bit tired and could use some refreshing.

the pillows were substandard. they seemed to be polyester fill, designed for firmness rather than comfort. i expect feather or down pillows at this price range. i found no feather or down pillows available anywhere in the hotel.
