“The rooms, refreshed with a nod to Lord Guinness, feel both comfortable and well-appointed, with a surprising, welcome touch of an in-room coffee machine. Its appeal extends outdoors with a lovely garden and ample seating, and the food, particularly the well-portioned plates, is noteworthy, complemented by excellent staff attentiveness. It strikes a chord as a place that feels thoughtfully managed and genuinely welcoming.”
