Good facilities, location and free parking
Pros:

Comfortable, high quality rooms. Clean and good facilities, especially the shower. Having free parking and a 15 mins walk into the city centre is brilliant. Local pubs, restaurants and cafes good too without going into town.

Overall amazing experience and would stay here again!
Pros:

The property is not located directly in the main part of town but it was still very easy to get around (close to buses and trains). Additionally, the neighborhood was felt very safe and was beautiful. The room was amazingly decorated, main living space and bathroom were very clean.

Cons:

This doesn't have much to do with the actual stay, but we did eat in the restaurant part of the hotel and had an alright experience. It took some time to be attended to and for our food to arrive.

The only downside was that the bed was a little too soft for my liking
