Receptionist was charming, chatty and helpful despite it being 9pm when we arrived. Attention to the decor in the corridors plus the festive additions made the hotel seem very welcoming. Breakfast was plentiful, varied, tasty and unhurried.

This is an older hotel, which added to the charm. We found the room with 2 twin beds to be roomy and comfortable with a sitting area of 2 chairs and tea unit quite nice. . The bathroom was clean and large. I'd stay again!
