"Parking-we got there early so got a space right outside the front of the hotel, could hear people who arrived later being told parking was further down the road, so not sure on that one. Our room was right opposite the reception desk, thought it would have been noisy, but it didnt disturb our night, was fine. good for location, bus to town etc. 5 min walk from hotel to closest bus stop. we left the car at the hotel the whole stay, and used the buses. would definitely stay here again."
