Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A very homely hotel with so many positive aspects, particularly the staff who were always keen to help with a range of support from directions, maps & local detail, pack-up breakfasts, discounts on local restaurants, etc. Be aware that parking is limited (plenty of street parking) & there is a railway at the back (though the latter was not busy or overly noisy).
