Staff were friendly helpful and welcoming from the moment we walked through the door. We were kindly upgraded which we were very grateful for. The room had everything we needed, clean and the bed was very comfortable. We had a lovely stay and can’t wait to return.

Loved that it was such a central hotel, but when you closed the bedroom door all was quiet. It’s a great no fuss hotel.
