Had a lovely nights stay. Room was huge really well appointed and super comfortable and spotless clean.
Great location in centre of town.
Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment.
One slightly odd thing both the bed and the side of the bath were extraordinarily high. I’m 5ft 1 and literally had to climb into bed and into the over bath shower. Don’t know how I would have faired if I had mobility issues.
Really nice Hotel and throughly recommended.
The hotel is excellent and highly recommended. Very good, generous breakfast.
