A gem of a hotel offering exceptional value and service.
Pros:

A perfectly located, immaculate hotel that is beautifully styled with great staff. The public areas were contemporary and sophisticated creating a really lovely atmosphere and our bedrooms and en-suites were lovely too with some lovely views. 305 overlooks the town square with its lovely triple window and is spacious, stylish and very comfortable. My friends stayed in 215, a Hardwick room with a lovely Mountain View. They said it was also very comfortable and beautiful too. We loved being able to park in the hotel garage area and found the food at both dinner and breakfast to be excellent: a varied menu of delicious food at very reasonable prices. The quality was excellent as were the portions. The staff throughout the hotel were all really friendly, helpful and kind. I contacted the hotel in advance and booked the garage area, we arrived very early and were very fortunate to be able to check-in immediately as our rooms were ready too: the staff, particularly Philippa, Maria and Siri went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Thank you, we had a great time and hope to return in the future.

Cons:

Nothing; if we are being really picky, perhaps you could add some earl grey or peppermint tea-bags to the in-room trays?

Not to expectations especially how much they charge
Pros:

Location
Parking although more expensive than surrounding car parks

Cons:

Bed hard and un comfy. Shower was hot and wouldn’t adjust. I’d say it hasn’t been commissioned properly which is required after installation to set correct showering temperature. Breakfast was tasteless with cheap ingredients. Hash brown tasted of old fat. Toast had been done a while before we got it. Cold and was like old toast that had been sat there for a long time. Black pudding a cheap tasting one. My partner only ate the scrambled egg and bought another breakfast from town square. Staff wearing dirty aprons. Sent link to pay again even though I’d paid two weeks in advanced.
