The stay was lovely, the room was spacious however the extractor fan in the bathroom ran 24hrs. Parking was easy and the property was a walkable distance to the main part of town.

This stay was quite good. Bed very comfortable. Was a a bit small and it was difficult as no where to put cases and other luggage. My husband a large man so we found it very restricted. Otherwise very nice
