Lovely hotel and a great room. A bit different compared to hotel chains. All staff friendly and helpful. Parking in hotel grounds a bonus for the area. Breakfast very good. Only criticism is I’d have preferred a wider breakfast menu.

Overall decent hotel. Best thing is convenient location to the train station, dining options and attractions. Warm breakfast options and happy hour incl. boardgames and snacks were great. Rooms could use a makeover (bathroom ceiling crumbling etc) though, especially for the price.

The first room we were given was disappointing as it was next to noisy pub garden and was smaller and more cramped than advertised, thankfully the receptionist was great and moved us to a different room which was lovely and we had a great stay. Food at the nearby Cafe de soleil was delicious and hotel was convenient for wandering round the city and Cathedral

Amazing hotel in a great location

Amazing hotel in a great location. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was lovely - comfortable bed, nice little extras and an outdoor seating area. Happy hour was a bonus and everything was in short walking distance (including the train station). Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back.
