10/10 Excellent
"Lovely boutique hotel with very helpful reception staff. Room lovely - jacuzzi bath in our room was out of service but we wouldn't have used it anyway. Walk in shower was just fine. Level of background music perfect, as was choice of tracks. Many hotels blast out musak but this was just perfect. Pleasant bar serving 10€ cocktails and other drinks. Wish we had been able to take advantage of the lovely pool - not quite warm enough outdoors. Short walk from the town centre and a few free parking spots right outside if you're lucky enough to get one as we were. Would definitely return if we are in the area in future."
