Surprising a good short stay

Booked this as a last minute break, the weather was terrible but our stay at this hotel more than made up for it. We were made to feel welcome when we arrived and were delighted to find the main bus route ran outside the hotel allowing us to spend our three days exploring the area car free. The food on offer was excellent with a good choice each night that was wonderfully cooked and presented. The staff were friendly and efficient, making our stay relaxed and pleasant. We would not hesitate to recommend or to book another short stay.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
The rooms clean. The location is great near public transport (buses) - but after 2 days, I think it was the staff who just didn't "shine". The best person was the breakfast lady. Others might need to put on a brighter personality for guests. I really think that was all that was lacking.
