Fabulous hotel.
"The most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Friendly staff. Fabulous breakfast. Extremely clean. Decent size room. Only criticism is of the untidy area around the hotel. But the hotel itself, faultless. And a great location with a very short walk to the old town. We’ll be staying there again."
