The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and very clean. Gorgeous view from 107. The sash window didn’t close properly but it was nice to have a small amount of fresh air. The breakfast was very tasty. Loved the porridge with the hidden strawberries and the Vegetarian breakfast was delicious. A nice central hotel too for the town and quiet too. The stairs were an initial challenge for me, but by end of the two night stay, it did wonders for my energy! Would definitely stay again, a hidden gem!
