"Really nice hotel and very reasonably priced. The location is great, with local shops and some lovely little cafés within easy walking distance. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the room was comfortable, making for a really pleasant stay. One thing to note is that the nearby cafés don’t open until around 9am, and the hotel restaurant doesn’t serve breakfast, so this is worth keeping in mind if you like an early breakfast. I didn’t eat at the restaurant, but the meals I saw coming...
