Delicious Dinner

The menu at the restaurant featured a fantastic selection, and the palate cleanser served between courses was a delightful surprise, enhancing the overall dining experience. Each bite was a treat, especially the home-cooked dishes that were always served piping hot.

Inviting Lounge

The guest lounge was a perfect place to unwind after a day out. It offered a cozy atmosphere to relax, read, or enjoy a drink, distinct from the bar area, which added a nice touch to my stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of cozy comfort and a bit of noise. The room had a lot of character that fit well with the Haworth vibe, but there were some issues like nail polish stains and missing wallpaper patches. There was an incident of loud music, drinking, and a drunken argument that was disruptive.
