Perfect location right by the train station and bus stops as we didn’t have a car. Lovely walk right next door which I highly recommend. Hotel is old and a bit worn out but very clean and tidy and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed our stay in a lovely part of the country.

Nice Hotel. In desperate need of a re-furb, which I believe starts in Oct 2025. Should be first class when done. Surrounding area nice. Quick access for town. Binoculars needed for lake view.
Prominent position in town. Good access to station
