Great setting

A large garden setting is always a pleasantry within a large city. The rooms here are set around a large courtyard-style garden, with plenty of mature trees and small shrubs. In the centre of the garden the restaurant provides shady areas in which to chill with a drink, or have a light lunch. The rooms are not the best, they are small and musky wooden cabins which could certainly do with a breath of fresh air, but they are certainly rustic. There are cheaper and better options, but not many places have such a large area to relax in.

Forgettable except for the garden - 25th June, 2009
Rooms really are small and musky; the staff is bored; there is a very busy road right outside the front door.
