ideal locationfriendly stafflovely breakfastdouble roomuncomfortable sleepfaulty towel rail
the hotel location was ideal. it was close to the railway station, only a five minute walk i think. the breakfast was lovely!!! it offered a good selection of items. the staff were very friendly and helpful.
I paid for a double room. i was surprised to find two single beds pushed together. there was a gap in the middle. This made sleeping uncomfortable. the towel rail also did not work. :(
