Friendly helpful staff, clean well appointed room with AC which was very welcome as we were staying during a heatwave! Excellent central location. Great breakfast. All in all I would happily stay again. The only suggestion is that if you have mobility issues, do mention it when booking, to avoid a top floor room, as there isn't a lift.

We had such an amazing stay. The hotel is in the perfect location, so much to see and explore in the little town. The breakfast was delicious, and lots of little extra details were provided, such as sparkling water for our drive. Lovely decor and helpful staff. The only thing we wish, is that we stayed longer. Highly recommend you stay here!
