Exceptional Culinary Experience

During my stay, the dining experience was outstanding. The restaurant features a unique railway carriage theme, complete with train-style seating. The food was beautifully presented and delicious, showcasing high-quality local ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the lamb shank, which was a highlight of the meal!

Charming Accommodations

I stayed in the 'Flying Scotsman' room, which was not only spotlessly clean but also incredibly charming. The decor was beautifully themed, and the comfort level of the bed ensured a great night's sleep. The attention to detail, from the bespoke carpet to the railway-themed artwork, made the experience truly special.

Luxurious Bathing Experience

The bathroom in my suite was another highlight. Featuring a spacious layout that felt luxurious, it included a large tub perfect for relaxation. The fixtures were great and elevated the overall comfort of my stay. I always looked forward to unwinding there after a day of exploration.

The hotel is in a prime location as a beachside gem with lovely beach views. The rooms are spacious, clean and designed with nice extra touches. The bathroom with a walk-in shower and a conveniently placed hairdryer added to the overall comfort. However, the price could be a bit high for some, considering the value for money.

The hotel is a cozy haven with lovely extra touches in a great location, housed in a former train station. The rooms are spotless and feature a fantastic bathroom with a walk-in shower where the hairdryer was conveniently located. The service was exceptional, making me feel right at home. The dining experience, including gyu-don dishes, was delicious, but the facilities were a bit lacking. Overall, a charming stay with a few minor drawbacks.
