The best hotel. It was very elegant. Rooms were beautiful and decor was just amazing. The library was quiet and had a lot of books. The hotel was initially a home for retired sailors, then turned into a hotel. It was so beautiful worth interesting things everywhere to look at. Beds were excellent and rooms very clean. Highly recommended

Convenient location, very reasonably priced, friendly staff, clean and well equipped. Decent, comfortable bar offering a good choice of bar food. The accommodation was a little dated in areas, however would 100% recommend this hotel over one of the larger, more expensive chain options.
