"The location is amazing."
Rooms & Accommodations
The Westgate Hotel offers 19 rooms across two buildings: a main hotel with 12 en-suite rooms and an annex with 7 rooms featuring shared bathrooms. Rooms include a wardrobe, electric kettle, flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi. En-suite rooms have private showers, while annex rooms share bathrooms on each floor. Some rooms overlook the garden. The hotel is not suitable for guests with mobility issues due to narrow staircases.
Dining & Breakfast
A continental breakfast is included, served in the garden during warmer months. Options include fruit salad, yogurt, cereal, boiled eggs, toast, and coffee. Cooked breakfast items like fried eggs, sausage, and bacon are available for an additional fee.
