Very comfortable stay.
Pros:

Just a lovely hotel in a beautiful area. The staff were exceptional, very helpful and so pleasant, the domestic went over and above my expectations, the room was spotless and very comfortable with a chair and table as well, nice and spacious. I was amazed how spotless the streets in the area are, not a scrap of paper or rubbish anywhere. Felt safe and thoroughly enjoyed my stay, will definitely stay there again.

Cons:

The only complaint I have was the cost of the food, although the chicken salad was delicious, it cost £14.00 which is very dear for a salad.

Pros:

Good location with plenty of parking. Pleasant and helpful staff. Nice evening meal. Good shower.

Cons:

Like most properties, there were cushions placed on the pillows. 😖
I realise I’m one in about 3 people in the population who really doesn’t like this.
We booked a double room but were given a family room which felt a bit congested with the bunks and ladder.
