"Great location and beautiful building. Nice rooms and breakfast. Staff great. Only issue is the bottled water in the rooms. You would ordinarily assume these are included but they are for Hilton Honours members only. Seems a bit stingy to me!"

"We only stayed for 1 night as we were going to a gig at The Crescent (10 mins walk). Free on-site parking was a great benefit and it wasn't a long walk into town either ( bus stop is outside the property should you need it) Room was clean. Superb breakfast to start the day too."
