Nice hotel staff. It’s more centered around the bar which is very fine. Rooms are small and breakfast very limited. The location is great in the center of town.

Excellent friendly staff

Lovely hotel with excellent staff, they couldn't do enough to help us. Comfortable room with good facilities. The only little niggle was the outside security light kept coming on which made the room very bright when trying to sleep.
