Very pleasant stay. Very central with free parking. Great breakfast. Lovely staff.
Pros:

Great central location. Breakfast’s were superb. Staff were very friendly & efficient.
Room was quite small but very comfy bed & decent shower. We’ll know what to ask for to get a better view next time.

Cons:

Double room was ok but could have done with a bit more room. Beautifully decorated and very comfy bed though. Sadly lunch & dinner not available on the days we stayed (Tue / Wed) … however, substantial breakfast kept us going!!
