Pros +

  • Lovely room. I had arranged a late check in before arrival and the keys were waiting for me on the reception desk with instructions which was really convenient. Nice quiet location but still easy to walk into town although a little steep at the very end of the walk back! Good breakfast and really friendly staff. Free car park on site is a bonus.
  • Wonderful, friendly atmosphere. Very pleasant, large room, fantastic view
  • The staff was very helpful, caring, friendly and approachable, I have a disability and the reception Anna went beyond to accommodate my needs. Very clean property, highly recommend

Cons -

  • Very squeaky floors.
