Central for visiting the tourist attractions. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Food is good. Stairs to hotel room can be tricky with cases but rooms are available in an outside building. Would definitely stay again.

Just to let you know the shower tray didn't drain easily, and the windows could do with a refurbish and stay open. The staff were attentive and helpful throughout our stay.

Can't fault the location and the rooms are well proportioned and equipped - a little bit mean with only two teabags! The staircase to rooms 1-4 in the main building is also narrow and steep
