Absolutely wonderful, loved it!
Pros:

Great location, very helpful staff (that’s you Sam!), upgraded soaps, lotions, chocolates and cocoa in the room, great made to order breakfast!

Cons:

We booked a cozy room which was a little tight for my 6’4” husband and I. All other rooms are bigger and I would book one of those!

Perfect location, wonderful staff : )
Pros:

Located in the centre of the town, perfect for walking around and exploring. There’s a choice of local car parks or if you’re lucky there’s also some free street parking

Cons:

Not that I didn’t like it but if I was to stay again I would probably request a room that wasn’t near the entrance door as it was a little noisy with people coming in and out.

Beautiful
Pros:

Staff were amazing

Cons:

Only 1 thing that spoiled our trip - not sure if there is a laundry room next to room 19 but for hours on Saturday night it was like a helicopter landing - at one point i was ready to go home but about 11pm it stopped - if it was a washer spinning then maybe consider only setting them off in the daytime as it's very inconsiderate considering the price of the rooms - if it wasn't then lord only knows what it was but it was bad . If not for this then couldn't have faulted our stay
