I think the photos seemed like it would be more of an upscale experience... but once we settled in it was fine and close to many options for activities.
Great property with friendly staff. Laundry facilities which was helpful and tasteful decor. Clean except for pink mould on lower tiles of shower- this was the only negative

Older property with a great feel and very comfortable
Central to town and eating establishments...big room...comfie bed...lovely bath shower and kitchen facilities...off street parking..noisy area at night
But good value for money...only downside was poor checkin..waiting for 40 min for someone to turn up to let guests in
I loved this little hotel. Its like stepping back
a century! It's beautifully restored and cared for, with a very comfortable bed and an excellent shower over the bath. A staff member was happy to help when I asked for someone to carry my bag down the steep staircase.
