Second stay here, would stay again, enough said.
Pros:

Clean nicely decorated boutique hotel. Friendly staff and accommodating when I wanted to change rooms due to husbands recent diagnosis and the stairs proved to much for him.

Cons:

The toast was slightly wafted past the toaster; still too ‘bready’ but the breakfast was great otherwise.

Pros:

Minor things but room should have facial tissue. Breakfast only includes one slice of toast which seems a bit odd. Carpets need refresh.
