Excellent and would definitely use this hotel again.
Pros:

It was a good price for an excellent room. The hotel was conveniently placed, the view was lovely. It was exceptionally clean and neat.

Cons:

The shower tray was extremely slippery. So much so I nearly fell twice. A shower mat is much needed. There were a LOT of stairs to reach the room.

Lovely hotel, staff friendly and room neat and spacious.
Pros:

Room was lovely and clean, bathroom was clean and very nice. Shower is spacious and so is the room. Perfect little stay.

Cons:

I think it was on the higher side in terms of money for one nights stay, but it was definitely lovely, and if I could afford to I’d stay more often.
