Fantastic Stay!

lovely breakfastfriendly staffgreat location
The breakfast was lovely. I especially liked the homemade shortbread. All the staff were friendly and always happy to assist. The car parking was great for this area. The hotel coordinated it for the nine of us when we booked rooms through different channels. The hotel location made it easy to find places to eat and drink nearby. It really was a great stay.
The entrance to the car park is a little tight. It may be tricky for larger vehicles.

Free parking is available, although the archway entrance to the parking area is quite tight. The quirky, older parts of the building add to its homely style. This can be challenging with mobility issues.

my room was above the breakfast area and the music played very late. Someone collected bottles early, this woke me up. builders were noisy early, so that was not nice.
