Really nice hotel .. staff extremely helpful and friendly. Food in the bar was good however I was a bit alarmed at the bright yellow sauce that came with the sea bass but food was delicious.
Room was very spacious and recently refurbished shower room was fab.
Overall very nice and good value for money.

Good choice for Overnight Pitstop
Warm welcome, great location in town, lots of parking to rear, follow the Hotel Car Park signs round the back. Room ok, bit of overspill in it. It was road facing though so some traffic noise. Great dinner (beutiful chowder) in Kennedys and very good breakfast. All in all I would come back here.
