The room was at the front and let in quite a bit of street lighting around the curtains
The place is amazing. The room is nicely decorated and everything feels very high quality. Friendly staff and easy check-in/out.
Breakfast was also good, with many options.
Can't wait to visit again!

Room was ok. No parking available. Breakfast was late opening and porridge was really poor.
a double bed in a hotel should typically be accessible from both sides for guest convenience, with space to get in and out from each side, even if the bed isn't a king-size. For the best guest experience and comfort, especially for couples, there should be enough room for two people to enter and exit the bed easily without having to climb over each other or a wall, which can be a problem with a double bed if it's placed too tightly against a wall. There was also a step between room and bathroom was very dangerous in dark at night so had to leave light on. Tv didn't work. control needed new batteries which once in bed wasn't an option as far as we were concerned I had to climb over my wife 3 times during the night who has mobility issues waking her to use the bathroom which made our stay very uncomfortable
We booked a snug room which was indeed snug (one side of the bed is right next to the wall) but very comfortable and beautifully decorated with lovely chocolates!
Great place definitely staying again found this place after a good year of staying local within the area. Nice staff, lovely rooms. Parking restrictions within the area but plenty over the road from the hotel.
This gem is on Main Street. Had so much character. A fabulous Pub with restaurant attached. The property was spacious and unique. The room was decorated so lovely and such personal touches and quite spacious. Staff was wonderful.
Excellent hotel with really nicely appointed rooms. Very nice touch with hand made sweets in the room and great location for the local shops although on site parking is a little limited.
Even before I arrived, the Team were a bunch of legends on the customer service front, my snug room was a delight and the bed was super comfy. A top little find, would definitely recommend!
