What a wonderful hotel. It looks better in real life than in the photos. Our room was large, bright with a huge and really comfortable bed. Great pillows and bed linen too. The breakfast is amazing. A true feast and lots of veggie options too. Don't miss out on breakfast. I love a Tunnock's Tea Cake and it's a lovely touch to have these in Reception and the rooms. Location is great and easily walkable to so many places with good retail on the street and it looks over a lovely park. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
