Pros:

A very flexible approach to breakfast! A room we could enjoy being in, rather than just a place to sleep. It was easy to park on the street nearby.

Comfy stay with polite staff
Pros:

Breakfast was nice and came in a suitable amount of time.
Staff kept the place clean and all were very friendly.
The hotel is also close to the centre so a little walk and you’re right next to the restaurantss etc.

Cons:

The shower pressure wasn’t that good so pretty hard to get showered appropriately.

Bacon was a bit cooked through which made it tough in the morning but i’m picking.
