Fab location, only a few minutes walk into town. Really lovely breakfast. I arrived really early and the room was already cleaned and ready at 10.30am so I could check in. Great parking as well, about 10 spaces but we all got spaces.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were supposed to have an upper floor, but when she saw our luggage and told us there was no lift/elevator, she moved us to the ground floor. Excellent breakfast - cooked to order! Charming hotel.
