I had a twin room to myself which was very lucky because the first bed I selected was so uncomfortable I had to move beds half way through the night. Luckily the second bed was okay - but it was the one nearest the door which is never my first choice.
The staff were all lovely and very helpful

The location was a short walk from the train station and also the bus station.(Other hotels were further away) The building is old, but the carets looked recent. The staff were excellent, including lending some plates and cutlery for a takeaway.
