The staff were exceptional, they were very welcoming and attentive to details. The room was nice with a modern bathroom. A good hearty breakfast for a reasonable price. Only comment would be around the cleanliness of small points in the room like the mugs and tv remote. Otherwise a perfect stop !

Excellent stay! Our room was upgraded which was an added bonus! Lovely cooked breakfast! Which my partner and I feel the hotel are undercharging for! Short walk into centre. Would definitely stay here again.

I found this hôtel outstanding in every respect. My only regret is that I was there for only one night and was going out for dinner - because they clearly have a good restaurant and a good bar, and breakfast was very good. Next time - and there will be a next time - I shall dine there too.
