Corinium Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent
"It was wonderful to have parking included at the facility. The hotel is located a 5 minute walk from the centre of town so easy to get to. Having a restaurant/bar on premises was also very nice. The room was a bit small but was listed correctly in their ad for the place and it worked out fine."
