Does what it says on tin
The staff were fab and have us an extra hour before check out due to extraordinary circumstances which was much appreciated. The room was immaculate and the hotel is dog friendly. Check out the Willows tea rooms for amazing breakfast

The central location makes it ideal to find anything needed and parking very easy/convenient. Even calling the contact number early morning was met with a sleepy but cordial response. Also nice to hear about the “receptionist”, barman and information supplier’s enthusiastic interests and hobbies. Thank you young sir. Strve

The property was in a lovely little town with its own private parking. Very clean room and friendly staff. The only downside was the room was absolutely red hot with double windows (old sash windows with double glazing over the top) no ventilation or airflow in the room.
