Great hotel for a short stay
Pros:

Really nice and comfortable hotel. The room was clean and cosy, the breakfast was good, and having tea and coffee in the room was a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Free on-site parking is also a great bonus.

The only downside was the noise from other room doors closing — it was surprisingly loud and disturbed us a little, especially as we were trying to rest during the day.

Apart from that, everything was great. Definitely a good choice for a couple of nights!

Good rooms
Pros:

Location on route to lots of places. Rooms were comfy. Staff were lovely.

Cons:

We had no water on the morning I was leaving, so I couldn't shower etc which was not ideal but staff resolved the issue as best they could and I'm grateful.
