I booked one of the cheaper rooms this time but it had everything we needed, the bathroom had lovely thick towels and a great shower. All very clean. Friendly, helpful staff.

Incredible! To sum up our stay. It was incredible! From start to finish I can’t fault the service we received, Spotless, peaceful, spacious and super well equipped.

Good location in town, nice breakfast. Had a few little issues while we were there which staff did their best to sort. Rooms in need of deep clean especially very dusty curtains! Be aware there is limited parking so you will have to pay for the public car park nearby. Our room was up several flights of stairs with no lift and no help with heavy luggage offered.
