What a lovely hotel and amazing staff and service. We contact to let them know we would be a late check in and due to issues beyond our control it got later and later. The receptionist stayed late on duty for us and even offered us a drink at the bar when we arrived!
The room was beautiful and very clean, lovely rain shower in bathroom with double size shower cubicle.
Breakfast was okay, not great for vegans though, only potato cakes and beans and no oat milk but I was given soya cream for coffee which was actually nice.
Our stay w as brief due to travel but I would stay here again.

Great location. Service was spectacular. Free parking across the stress was a nice perk. Bar, dinner and breakfast service was the highlight. The room was smaller than anticipated but the service around the hotel would bring us back.

We stayed here passing through, so I can’t say much about the shopping or dining around the hotel. We had a nice, one night stay. Everyone was nice, breakfast was good, and the room was clean, just dated. They do not have washcloths, so bring your own if you use them. They do have bath towels and hand towels. There is a little grocery store next door, so that was convenient. We would stay again if passing through.
