A hidden diamond.
Pros:

Owners so helpful carrying luggage up. Single Room exactly as the photos. Bed really comfy and linen great quality. Aircon in the room. Tower fan, ironing board and iron in cupboard. Hairdryer. Great towels and shower room well appointed especially demisting mirror.
Bistro excellent choice in food and chicken kebab on hanger, delicious. Wine very good price. Slept better than i do at home. Breakfast great choice and a lovely quality. Full English kept me going until teatime. Internet fine for working from a laptop.

Cons:

I had a bit of trouble finding it. It's next door to the Spar shop. If your mobility is not good there are a few steps over the 3 floors, but can't really fault the place. Don't want to rave too much, as I intend to use it for my work stop over every time I'm in the area.

Lovely room with air conditioning. Pleasant staff,I’d go back again 👍
Pros:

Clean, lovely food,great location and helpful staff

Cons:

The parking was at the bus station across the road and not free until after 6pm
We were expecting entertainment at the hotel but there was nothing on. Live music was available at another hotel round the corner so not too much of a hassle.

Safety.
Pros:

Location and comfort.

Cons:

Access door to Reception from rooms locked at night. I was not told. Could not get downstairs at 7am to get boiling water as a result, despite breakfast starting from 7am. Returned to room and phoned Reception but no response. Whilst I hadn't booked breakfast I did expect someone to be around in the morning for my early departure. I eventually found the alternative exit (but what if there'd been a fire)! Made my way out and walked past the main entrance. It was still in darkness and there were no visible staff around. This made me question the safety for guests in the property at night. Accessing the rooms is via different corridors on different levels. Egress would be difficult in an emergency, particularly if you are unaware of exit and the entrance door to all the rooms from Reception is locked. Otherwise clean and comfortable and friendly staff.
