JGreat location and lovely hotel
Fabulous location. Really friendly and helpful staff, breakfast excellent. Standard room was very small but adequate for a short stay but having said that the large bathroom made up for it
AndrewLovely location and the room was lovely if a little on the small side. Unfortunately there were no decaffeinated tea bags included in the complementary hot drinks tray. One of the “pumps”for the shampoo in the shower…
