Our third stay and this nice hotel in a quiet location , helpful staff and a hearty breakfast to start the day . Our room was clean and comfortable , toiletries were supplied in the bathroom. Our only minor complaint was poor internet service but when we reported this to reception they apologised but did tell us that the internet service is due to be upgraded soon.

Room was clean, but very cold on arrival. Had to rely on getting in room portable heater out, but that did a job. Staff were courteous and friendly. Breakfast was standard fare, but all nicely cooked and presented. All in all, a good value for money stay.
