The hotel was well located in he middle of town. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable all be it a bit on the tired side. The bar was well stocked and the food was very good with a wide variety to choose from.

It was an old school hotel but it was so functional. Beds are amazing. Pillows are comfy. Food and drinks available anytime. There's grocery ad restaurants around the hotel. Small little town but you won't feel you're missing. I would love to stay there again.

What a lovely clean hotel and amazingly friendly staff. So friendly they took my daughter out clubbing with them . Thank you for looking after her and making her break a fab one. The rooms were spotless and large with all the facilities : tea, coffee, towels ect supplied. The food on the menu was really good value for money ( ate there both nights ) , The breakfast - on offer was fresh fruit, cereal, toast and hot food buffet . fantastic value for money. Again I cant thank the staff enough for being so friendly , from the cleaner to the bar staff . We all had an amazing break , just what was needed and have already looked to book again. This hotel should be proud of their staff - we haven't found another hotel so warm and welcoming :-)

Long way up three flights of stairs (with luggage) to get to room but suspect the best rooms are on the upper floors. Was still noisy from courtyard outside (Friday night revellers). The room lighting was very poor.
Large spacious room and bathroom, good breakfast.
