TRANSPARENCY

How this page was prepared

Gaylidays shortlisted this hotel independently using public information about its location, character and useful travel features. LGBTQ+ welcome is treated as a separate evidence field and is never inferred from location alone. This is not a paid placement, a booking endorsement, a safety guarantee or a certification.

Information was checked on 4 Oct 2026. Hotel services, policies and third-party ratings can change; confirm important details directly before booking.
