Good hotel. Nice clean rooms, with windows that open properly! Very helpful staff.
Car park is quite tight, but there is a big public one a couple hundred meters away.
Online check-in seems unnecessary and causes a bit of confusion.

Booked last minute, location fantastic, central with parking. Room was lovely, very comfortable bed. Owner Helen took the time to tell us about the building and all the renovations that have been done and ongoing. The public areas are beautiful, mix of old and new, really suits the place itself, all the staff were very friendly and gave us tips on where to eat out. We will definitely stay here again and would highly recommend a visit. We look forward to a very warm welcome in the future. 😊
