“What strikes me is the truly exceptional staff; their warmth and helpfulness are consistently mentioned and clearly make a significant difference. The location, right by the water with lovely views, is undeniably a strong point, offering a pleasant backdrop. While some elements are a touch dated, the comfort and value are often highlighted as more than sufficient compensation.”
