Great stay lovely rooms recently done up and clean with great bed and shower. They even have fresh milk for tea. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. Definitely worth a visit.
Had a lovely nights stay. Room was huge really well appointed and super comfortable and spotless clean.
Great location in centre of town.
Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment.
One slightly odd thing both the bed and the side of the bath were extraordinarily high. I’m 5ft 1 and literally had to climb into bed and into the over bath shower. Don’t know how I would have faired if I had mobility issues.
Really nice Hotel and throughly recommended.
The staff are just lovely......helpful and kind. The hotel is very clean, room spotless and spacious. My bathroom had natural light and smelled lovely. The restaurant and bar are beautifully decorated with pretty artwork and gorgeous wallpaper.
