Good location in Center of the town.
Pros:

Great location ideal for visiting the town. Good choice in restaurant for evening meal and breakfast.

Cons:

I have a bad back and the bed was very hard. Room was clean and a good size. You had to step over the bath tub to access the shower which was challenging for me but very comfortable room.

Would definitely stay again as overall it was satisfactory for a short stay.
Pros:

Hotel was excellent, clean modern, well maintained. Good food. Room was modern.

Cons:

The room was located across the road, room ok but a little small. No private parking only the roadside so not always a space. Quite a steep staircase with a case and knee issues. Should have requested a ground floor room. Room needs freshening up a little, a little wear and tear in some areas.

Beautiful, clean , fresh and modern hotel serving gorgeous food and staff who go the extra mile.
Pros:

They went above and beyond for us and let us check in early. Every member of staff we spoke to were really friendly and took the time to chat to us. The rooms are so clean and modern. Nice touch of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits in the room. Some toiletries provided. There is also a free car park at the back of the hotel. The breakfast was gorgeous! We also had a drink on the pub part of hotel and it was really reasonably priced. Beautiful location.

Cons:

Couldn’t fault anything about our stay.
