Lovely place to stay. Clean, quiet, comfy bed and good shower
Pros:

A real suprise. Lovely staff, very clean, comfortable bed, good shower. Breakfast was included in price and plenty of choice. Location was quiet.

Cons:

Only thing to mention was the stairs to the second floor. We were ok with suitcases but could be difficult for some. Staff did assist with bags etc on request.

I would stay again if I ever visited the area.
Pros:

Was looking forward to trying the food from the main menu but unfortunately as we arrived on steak night our options were limited especially for our vegetarian friend. The manager was very helpful even while busy at the bar. Lovely room and comfortable bed.

Cons:

Breakfast options were also limited. Young waiting staff need training.
