Highly Recommend
Pros:

Lovely facilities, centrally located. Breakfast and dinners were excellent with plenty of creative choices. Surprisingly quiet. Beds comfortable. Very friendly and helpful hotel staff.

Cons:

Room temperature to warm. Bathroom light switch above the door only reachable by taller person. Dining room staff a bit inattentive, but maybe over extended.

Wonderful stay - lovely hotel and great staff
Pros:

Just back from a 3 night stay. The Hotel was beautifully decorated - loved all the pictures & the restaurant was very well laid out with comfy chairs. The bedroom was also very nicely decorated with some nice touches such as the radio. All of the staff were wonderful - very friendly and helpful - they made the stay very welcoming. The location was great as all the shops and restaurants were seconds away from the Hotel. Food was very good - we ate in the restaurant for 3 nights. A very enjoyable, relaxing stay - the staff are all a credit to the Hotel and the Manager, who was also very nice and helpful, making sure everyone felt welcomed and looked after. Would definitely recommend the Hotel.
