“The French Room felt particularly special, a spacious and comfortably appointed space where the attention to detail, from ample toiletries to a quality coffee machine, was evident. Beyond the rooms, the establishment excels with its genuinely hospitable staff and a breakfast menu that is both well-executed and thoughtfully organised. Dining here, whether for the celebrated Sunday lunch or an evening meal, presents dishes that are clearly prepared with care and quality ingredients.”
