We got upgraded to a sick self-catering cottage with epic city views. Gina's brekkie was on fire! Staff were super chill and friendly, making our vacay vibes top-notch.

We wished for more late-night party activities for young peeps.

Our family's stay at the Roaring Twenties-themed guesthouse was a true delight, with luxurious art deco touches and impeccable service. the kids were enchanted by the unique decor, and the playful atmosphere made it a memorable experience for everyone.

For dads it would be great to have more kid-friendly activities.

The decoration of the hotel is simply exquisite, taking me back to a time of elegance and sophistication. the general areas are spacious and cozy, perfect for relaxing and socializing with other guests. the hotel is very senior-friendly with easy access to all areas.

I wish the children working there could organize more senior-friendly activities.

United Kingdom, November 2022

We had a romantic escape and we loved the vintage charm of the hotel. The antique decor created a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere, perfect for a romantic getaway. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. We also enjoyed the convenience of the location, as it was close to shops, restaurants, and attractions, allowing us to explore the area easily.

There were a couple of downsides to our experience. the cleanliness of our room was subpar.
