Great location and easy parking. Everywhere I needed to go to was in easy walking disatance. Lovely quiet, spacious room and really comfortable bed - I slept like a log! Menu choices ok and drink selection very good, with 0% alcohol options available - all at reasonable prices.

Great location, great room, the only thing that let the hotel down was our evening meal which was not at the standard we had previously experienced and staff managing restaurant on the evening did let it down. Saying that, breakfasts were fabulous, and otherwise great experience and will definitely stay again.

The property has an upscale pub with good food. The room was very clean and well appointed. The room in which we stayed was over the bar, so it was a bit noisy, but we slept well. Nice place.
