Kelly our host was very friendly. Our room was huge and spotless. My husband said it was one of the most comfortable beds he has ever slept in. We were only there one night but everything was great and breakfast included so exceptional value.

    A lovely place to stay. good food, spotless room, warm and comfy. Very quiet considering it's proximity to the city centre (about 10 minutes walk to the train station)with lots of eateries and a supermarket nearby. Best feature is the friendly staff and owners for whom nothing is too much trouble. Have stayed here 5 times and the standard has always been high. Will definitely be booking a 6th visit.

    Clean, spacious rooms. Staff friendly, polite and helpful without exception. Excellent breakfast. Old-fashioned in the best possible way, i.e. grand old style, nothing flashy, just quiet luxury. A very pleasant hotel. Highly recommended.
