Turret Room

Great hotel. We had a quirky turret room which is clean and spacious. Only comment really is that a grab bar is needed in the shower over bath as it’s really slippery.

Very friendly welcome. Room had everything we needed. Only downside was we were in a ground floor room (as requested) and there was some noise from the room above. Also, being next to the stairs we got some noise from people going up and down the stairs. Location is excellent, lots of amenities within walking distance.

This was a nice clean and safe room with ensuit bathroom and was walking distance to good restaurant options. The water from tap initially smelled a bit sulfury but it went away eventually. Parking was a little snug.
