5 / 5 Excellent

The small hidden kitchen with microwave kettle and fridge was a real Bonus. Staff were really pleasant and friendly and the hotel is in a really good central location. The Room could have been a little bit larger for 3 guests.

Beautiful large room which was exceptionally clean. The only downside I would highlight is that the room was quite dark so some more lighting would great. Will definitely stay again
