Perfect town stay. Very welcoming

We stayed for five nights as visiting family. Very spacious room. Yes the room needs a lick of paint. But clean and lovely big towels. What sells the hotel is that it has really helpful , friendly staff. Very close to town with heaps of shops and restaurants. Also free car park. It has a lovely on-site bar. Only downside no air conditioning and although we had a fan , it was a very hot week for U.K.

An excellent stay.

From entering the Hotel the staff could not do enough for us. Our room was spacious and clean. Every time we entered reception we were always greeted with a smile asked if everything was ok for us. Breakfast was well worth the money. The hotel is very central to the town a 5 min walk. Having stayed in several hotels this is now our number one. We cant wait to return.

great place to stay for a night

I found the staff very friendly and the room had every thing I would expect from a good hotel room. The breakfast was good and there food was very well cooked. The only niggle is trying to get to the main street.
