Very nice hotel situated in the heart of the town
Pros:

Absolutely gorgeous little hotel, clean well equipped room (en suite), menu for the evening had all sorts to choose from and the the food was delicious. Breakfast options available, all presented very well. Only downside and mainly due to me being a very light sleeper, creaking floor boards. Overall I would visit again, staff were very friendly.

Cons:

All was good

Rejeuvenating.
Pros:

We pre-ordered breakfast so we had what we desired at the time we wanted to eat breakfast; and it was served promptly and cheerfully.

Having a great restaurant on site was a big plus, since we were just recovering from a long flight from north america. The restaurant was typically hopping with locals The menu was varied and food was excellent.

Short but pleasing stay, would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.
Pros:

The breakfast was fine, tailored to my request at check in, but could maybe have provided some marmalade. The room was fine, with a comfy bed and spotless ensuite. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Could only find a few news channels on the room TV and having no BBC although it did have the awful GB News was a bit strange.
