Really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent value. Its right next to the station and easy to park if you have driven (extra cost), but about a 15 min walk into town centre. I loved that the hotel ...
