This was a great place to relax for a few days before heading home. Lovely quaint hotel with everything that you need. Breakfast buffet was fantastic. Easy access to walk to shopping and restaurants. Found that most shops didn’t open till about 11:00 am and closed at 6:00 pm. So plan your shopping around those hours. Would stay there again!

Nice hotel , very traditional. However rooms quite dated and not as clean as I would expect for the price. Dusty towel rails as an example and rooms not made up to a decent standard, curtains left half open for example.
